ANZAC Day

Next Tuesday 25^th April is ANZAC Day and all members of the community are invited to attend the Caloundra ANZAC Day March. At our assembly this week, I spoke to students about the importance of ANZAC Day as a chance for the community to recognise and respect the sacrifice made by so many Australians in the service of their country. The democratic freedoms that we enjoy as a nation today are in many ways a result of their actions.

We will meet at 8.15am at Kmart Tyre and Auto Service Centre, Stockland Shopping Centre Caloundra. Students can be picked up at 9.45am from the Oval Avenue entrance of the Caloundra RSL car park. We ask that students wear their full formal uniform including their hat and also bring a water bottle.

At the Kings Beach Dawn Service, our College Captains, Samuel Wilson and Alexandra Whitmore will be reading ‘In Flanders Fields’, a poem written during the First World War by Canadian Physician Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae.

On Wednesday 26^th April we will have a full ANZAC chapel service for Middle and Senior College students. Gary Phillips, Member of the Caloundra RSL Sub-Branch will attend this service and our guest speakers will be Duncan Buchanan and Terrie-Ann Howard. Members of the Pacific community are welcome to attend.
