ANZAC Day

ANZAC Day is a naMonal public holiday and is considered by many Australians to be one of the most solemn days of the year. It marks the anniversary of the first major military acMon fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. The acronym ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, whose soldiers were known as Anzacs. ANZAC Day remains one of the most important naMonal occasions of both Australia and New Zealand, a rare instance of two sovereign countries not only sharing the same Remembrance Day, but making reference to both countries in its name.

As a school we will be commemoraOng ANZAC Day on the first student day next term, Wednesday 26 April, at 11.00 am in the Piazza. All are welcome to join us for this special reflecOon.
