Dear School community,

As we paused this morning to reflect on ANZAC Day, we must also acknowledge not only the courage of the Australian and New Zealand forces, but also the significant role Greece played during the Second World War. Many Australians may not realise how deeply connected our histories are. Greece’s resistance efforts in 1941 delayed Axis forces and contributed to the broader Allied campaign. Thousands of Greek civilians risked their lives to shelter and protect ANZAC soldiers, forging a bond of solidarity that continues to be honoured today.

Our Principal Alexia, together with two of our senior students, Michael Kalopisis and Talia Brigo, represented our school at the Mentone RSL Memorial Park, which stands as a place of remembrance for those who served our nation. During the ceremony, they laid a wreath on behalf of our school to honour the sacrifice of the men and women who served..

We are so proud of our school and our students, who embraced the opportunity to learn about the enduring ties between Australia, New Zealand, and Greece, and to participate in this important commemoration.

Lest we Forget
