On Thursday, the College community came together to honour and commemorate ANZAC Day, marking a moment of reflection and respect for those who have served. 

Our ceremony was enriched by the heartfelt stories of soldiers recounted by our student leaders, alongside Ms Glenny and Ms van Wees. This provided a meaningful context for our gathering, reminding us all of the bravery and sacrifice shown by those who fought for our freedoms.

We were privileged to hear reflections from students who participated in the 2024 Art History Tour, sharing their experiences from significant sites such as Gallipoli, Ypres, and the Sir John Monash Centre in Northern France. Their testimonials connected our students with the history of the ANZAC spirit.

The ceremony was solemn yet powerful, with wreaths laid by College Principal Dr Michael Davies and College Captain Hayden McDonald and Deputy Principal, Ms Wilson, reciting the Ode of Remembrance. Following this, our Head of Music, Mr Romeo, played The Last Post, creating a moment of deep reflection as we observed a minute of silence. The ceremony continued with our talented SBC Voices leading us in the Australian National Anthem.

As the ceremony drew to a close, our Deputy Principal shared insights into the symbolism of the Rosemary twig— a traditional tribute to remembrance—and spoke about the significance of the ANZAC biscuit, linking our present to the past in a very tangible way.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved, the efforts of staff and students created a memorable event to honour those who have served, ensuring that their sacrifices are never forgotten.

Lest we forget.
