ANZAC Day Address

"Distinguished guests, staff, and students, welcome to our ANZAC Day assembly.

"We meet today on the traditional lands of the Gadigal people. I pay my respects to Elders past and present and to any Aboriginal people with us today.

"We hold an assembly for ANZAC day because remembrance matters and it deserves time and attention. ANZAC Day is a day of reflection. A day to remember those who served, those who sacrificed, and those who never returned.

"Since 1915, Australians have served in wars, peacekeeping missions, and humanitarian operations across the world. Many paid the ultimate price. Many returned home changed by their service. All deserve our respect.

"It is also important to remember that service did not end in the past. Australians continue to serve today. Some are deployed in regions of instability. Others are preparing for conflicts that are only now emerging. They serve in a world that remains uncertain and complex. Given the current political climate, we do not know when the next armed conflict will occur, nor do we know whether we will be involved. Our armed forces must live in waiting to find out what their future looks like and where they will be stationed.

"We hold this assembly to remember what ANZAC spirit is about, it is about character. It is about how you treat others. How you respond when things are difficult. How you support those beside you, and, how you act when the right choice is not the easy one.

"In a moment, we will observe a period of silence.

"During that time, I ask you to reflect on the sacrifices made for the freedoms we enjoy. On the values that matter and on how you honour that legacy in your daily actions.

"Lest We Forget."
