ANZAC Day Commemorative Service
This morning our school community came together for our annual ANZAC Day Commemorative Service. It was a powerful opportunity for us to pause and honour the courage, service and sacrifice of the men and women who have served and continue to service our country.
Thank you to our special guest speaker, Mr Andrew Skipper, who generously shared his personal experiences and reflections, and reminding us of the importance of courage, mateship and gratitude.
The service included performances from our talented Bel Canto Choir, moving readings, student-led tributes and the laying of wreaths. A special mention also goes to Mr Scott Mayall for performing The Last Post and Rouse and to our rugby players, who showed incredible respect and pride as they sang both the Australian and New Zealand National Anthems.
Thank you to our students, staff and community for joining us for our Commemorative Service.
We will remember them. Lest we forget.
Buderim ANZAC Day March
Grammar will again be participating in the Buderim community ANZAC Day march on Friday, 25 April 2025.
Students from Prep to Year 12 are invited to march with their teachers, wearing full formal uniforms including formal hats and blazers for secondary students. The assembly point for the march is the Buderim Woolworths car park at 8:00 am for an 8:30 am start. The march proceeds down the main street of Buderim and concludes at the Buderim State School oval.
Students are most welcome to wear their relatives’ service medals. If doing so, the correct protocol in this case is for the medals to be worn on the right side of the chest.
The Bel Canto Choir will also be performing at the Dawn Service in Mooloolaba, and our music students will also be providing music for the march, located at the Buderim Pizza Company.
Parents can collect children from the Buderim State School oval. After the march, families may, if they wish, choose to join the community ANZAC service that follows the march. This is located in the forest at the Buderim State School.
Grammar has a proud tradition of forming the largest cohort of students marching from any local school, and we look forward to again joining with our students to mark this significant occasion.
