ANZAC Day

On Wednesday the 26th of April our College gathered to commemorate and acknowledge ANZAC Day. We had the pleasure of listening to both students, staff and special guests, including Ms Laura Taylor-Payne and her husband, Private Rowan Taylor as they spoke about their individual experiences with Private Taylor’s time spent in service to the country, an Ms Taylor-Payne’s dedication and resilience as a military spouse, and commitment to supporting her husband and the army. We are incredibly grateful to both of them for not only their time spent with us on Wednesday but their service to our country.

Following a minute’s silence, we listened to the choir and the band perform the national anthem and were privileged to listen to staff member Mr Brendan Nicholls play the bagpipes throughout aspects of the ceremony.

Finally, we were honoured to have a Catafalque Party of cadets participate in the ceremony, including students from both our College and Bellarine Secondary College, guiding us into a place of appreciation for both our past service people and all current service members.
