Side by side, we gathered as a College and community to commemorate Anzac Day, pay our respects and remember the sacrifices made by all servicemen and women, past and present.
On Wednesday 22 April 2026, we held our annual Anzac Day Ceremony and Assembly in Va Pasifika.
A Catafalque Party made up of six students from the Army and Air Force Cadets played an integral role. They stood guard during the Ceremony and laid a wreath at the flagpole in Claver Court in remembrance of the fallen. They did so with pride, respect and honour.
Flight Sergeant Paul Devenish delivered a Parent Reflection about what Anzac Day means to him, and Ethan Mumford gave a Student Reflection on how service isn’t just for the Defence Force member, but something the whole family is a part of.
Musical tributes were performed by our College String Ensemble and Claver Voices Choir, conducted by Music teacher Sally Linneman Grennan. Katelyn Stieler also performed the Last Post and Reveille on the trumpet, adding a powerful and heartfelt moment to the service.
Defence School Mentor Sheree Webb said the commemoration was a credit to the College and students involved.
“The respectful participation and enthusiasm of all involved reminds me that the spirit and sacrifice of the Anzacs lives on in the hearts of a new generation. I’d also like to thank the parents and students who shared their personal stories – your contributions added a deeply meaningful connection for our College community,” Ms Webb said.
In addition to our College ceremony, six students, accompanied by Mr Brauer and Ms Webb, proudly represented the College at the 2026 Anzac Commemoration Ceremony for Students in Brisbane.
A large contingent of students, staff and families also attended the Bundamba Anzac Day service on Anzac Day, demonstrating our community’s strong commitment to remembrance and honouring the ANZAC legacy.
