CENTAUR Primary School will hold its Anzac Day ceremony today at the school.
The school, named for the World War II hospital ship lost off the Queensland Coast, has many traditions that have developed over the past 19 years.
These traditions have formed part of the school’s heritage. With its links to World War II, participation in Anzac Day is one of the school’s most valued traditions.
Today’s service will be the second of the year for many of the Centaur students, who also took part in the main Tweed service.
Commemorating the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during World War I, student leaders and representatives joined community service families to march in remembrance of the brave soldiers’ sacrifice.
Assembling at Tweed’s Chris Cunningham memorial park, Centaur primary along with other local school students stood proud in their uniforms to be a part of Australia’s most important national occasion and to reflect on the many different meanings of war.
Centaur primary will hold its Anzac service on Thursday, 2 May, at 10am while they will also commemorate Centaur day later this month.
