Oakleigh Grammar commemorates ANZAC Day at special assembly

·

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

Attended by students, staff and members of the School Executive and School Board, the assembly reflected on the enduring legacy of the brave soldiers who landed at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915, and the values of courage, sacrifice, and mateship that continue to define the ANZAC spirit.

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.

The official party then departed and lay a wreath at the ANZAC memorial at the front of the school.
