ANZAC ART COMPETITION 

In April, the annual Ceremony at Anzac Memorial Hyde Park is delivered entirely by school students. It includes the Master of Ceremonies, keynote addresses, readings and musical accompaniment. The Service also consists of an Inspection of the Guard by the official party, The Ode, The Last Post and Rouse.

The service aims to educate primary and secondary school students about Australia’s military history whilst paying respect to the service and sacrifice of servicemen and women of the Australian Defence Force.

To mark the 70th Anniversary of this service in 2023, RSL NSW, the Department of Education, Catholic Schools NSW and the Association of Independent Schools NSW launched an art competition for NSW school students. Following its success, the art competition and exhibition will return in 2025. 

Two artworks will be selected for the cover of the 2025 service program. 

Each School can enter two Artworks. Bella Bailey and Evie Toole from Year 4 worked on one piece, and Kaitlyn Imms from Year 6 worked on the second artwork, representing our school in this competition.
