Anzac Day Ceremony
On Friday April 24, the students from St Andrew's primary school gathered in the school hall to remember all the men and women who have been involved in war and all those who are currently serving overseas in peacekeeping operations.
We listened to prayers and reflected on the great sacrifice these men and women gave for their country and for us. We also prayed for the families of those still involved.
The ceremony concluded with a beautiful and moving song, 'Spirit of the Anzacs' by Lee Kernaghan which was accompanied by images of the Anzacs.
Around the hall were posters that the year 6 students had made when researching a soldier from Gallipoli.
