2019 Anzac Ceremony
On Thursday, 2 May, all Year 11 students attended the annual ANZAC day ceremony bringing the community together to remember all those who have served, past and present.
It was a moving service with a focus on returning soldiers from World War I. The College Board Chair and Mayor of the City of Wanneroo, Tracey Roberts, also spoke and shared the names of local returning soldiers from within the City of Wanneroo from World War I and II.
One representative from each Mentor placed a remembrance plaque on the Commemoration Field taking time to reflect upon the experiences and sacrifices the soldiers made.
