Last week, students participated in our in-school ANZAC ceremonies with respect and pride. Our Navy and Army Cadets, led by Ethan Pelling, represented their respective services with distinction and laid our wreath of remembrance. We were honoured to welcome special community guests to the senior ceremony, including representatives from Kerri-Anne Dooley MP, the Redcliffe RSL, the Redcliffe War Widows’ Guild, the Redcliffe Ex-Service Women’s Club, and Aunty Lorraine Rix. Their presence added great significance to the occasion, as the school community came together to reflect on the sacrifices of our servicemen and women.

Following the senior ceremony, a morning tea was hosted by our talented Hospitality students, who prepared and served a delicious selection of refreshments. This provided a warm and welcoming space for our special guests to share stories, memories, and reflections with our senior student leaders and staff. The conversations were meaningful and inspiring, offering students a deeper understanding of the legacy and ongoing impact of ANZAC service in our community.
