Welcome to the Registration Form for those who would like to march on Anzac Day with our Shalom College community.
Regarding ANZAC DAY 2024 – Thursday 25 April
We are inviting interested Shalom Staff / Students / Parents and Friends to participate with Shalom College at the Bargara Service and/or Bundaberg Civic Service for Anzac Day.
We will also acknowledge students who represent Shalom College at other Services in the district. (Agnes Water, Rosedale, Moore Park, Elliot Heads, Gin Gin, Childers, Woodgate, etc.) (Other Services/ Marches will be acknowledged if the student attends/ marches in Shalom Formal Day uniform.)
Anzac Day is the solemn day of remembrance of those Australian and New Zealand Army Corps soldiers who have fought and died for their country, and is marked annually on the anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign of the First World War.
ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) Day is the anniversary of the landing of troops from Australia and New Zealand on the Gallipoli Peninsula, Turkey, in World War I on April 25, 1915. Anzac Day goes beyond the anniversary of the landing on Gallipoli in 1915. It is the day on which we remember all Australians who served and died in war and on operational service, past and present.
