As we returned from a restful break, it was lovely to gather as a whole school community on Tuesday to commemorate ANZAC Day. Special thanks to Military families, Mrs McCann and our invited guests for their efforts in commemorating this special event. A highlight of the occassion was welcoming our neighbours from Fred Ward Gardens who were thrilled with the service, meeting our students and the meaningful way in which we commemorated ANZAC Day.
