ANZAC Day March 2023
ANZAC Day (25 April) this year falls at the end of the holidays on the Tuesday before the commencement of school. For many years now St Joseph’s College has participated in the Twin Towns March. We march to remember those who have served our country and acknowledge those who continue to do so. This is an opportunity for students to demonstrate and experience the values of citizenship, community awareness and school spirit.
There is an expectation that all members of the STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL will attend and represent the College at the march.
Students from the College who wish to participate, are required to meet at Jack Evans Boat Harbour (next to the Children’s Playground) Boundary Street, Tweed Heads, by 9:45am. Students are to report to attending staff members so that their names can be marked off and height order can be arranged prior to 10:10 am. The assistance of Senior students in this organisation would be greatly appreciated.
Students must wear their full school uniform, including their school cap and ties for boys. It is important that students make every effort to look their best and are groomed in the manner required by the College uniform policy (hair tied back, no excess jewellery/make-up, boys clean shaven, etc). We will be marching to the Cenotaph in Wharf Street as usual for the main service.
At the conclusion of the service, all students attending are invited to have a light snack and soft drink in the Twin Towns Services Carpark courtesy of the Twin Towns RSL.
Students will need to organise their own transport to and from the ANZAC March. Students are free to leave at the end of the service (approx. 11:30am).
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at the College
