This morning, our college community gathered for our annual ANZAC Day Service. Together, we paused to remember the courage and sacrifice of the Australian and New Zealand men and women who have served, and continue to serve our nation.
We were grateful to welcome the Hon. Pat Comben representing Mr Shayne Neumann MP, along with Cr Pye Augustine from Ipswich City Council.
A special thank you to Mr Matthew Nash, one of our tutors, for his beautiful rendition of The Last Post and The Rouse. We were also proud to see two of our own, Sienna Walker and Saxon Mundy, stand tall in their cadet uniforms, presenting their platoon.
