On Wednesday the 10th of April the School Captain (Kieran Corcoran),Vice Captains (Callum Stewart and Miles Parhash) accompanied Mr Wood in attending the RSL and Schools Rememberance ANZAC Day service. The service took place in Hyde Park around the Pool of Remembrance. We caught the train from Stanmore to Museum Station and walked up through the park on a beautiful, warm and sunny day.

The service was run by students which included bands and choirs to accompany the many thought provoking songs. Many schools participated in the Schools Remember ANZAC Service, filling the stairs of the War Memorial with numerous and colourful Wreaths.

On Tuesday the 30th of April, Year 6 walked across to the Senior School to attend the Newington ANZAC Parade and Service. Our School Captain laid a Wreath with the Lindfield School Captain at the War Memorial. The service also signified the change of the Newington College Cadet Unit Colours. All those assembled were treated to a very insightful commentary from Lieutenant Colonel John Moore (ON ’53) and ANZAC address from Major Ross Wehby (ON ’98).

Both events were memorable occasions.
