Oakleigh Grammar has honoured ANZAC Day with a moving whole school assembly to commence Term Two of 2025.

Both the Australian and New Zealand national anthem were sung, before Principal Mark Robertson delivered a solemn address on the continued relevance of the courage and sacrifice of the ANZACs to our modern-day world.

He reminded students of the importance of remembering the past to shape a more peaceful future and encouraged all present to carry forward the values of respect and kindness in their everyday lives.
