2024 ANZAC Week Canterbury College Commemorations | Representing Our Logan Community

As a proud member of the Logan Community, Canterbury was honoured to commemorate ANZAC Day at five moving ceremonies across Tuesday to Thursday this week.

It was our chance to stop and remember, and salute the incredible sacrifices made by Australia’s and New Zealand’s Armed Services and their families, over two World Wars and many other conflicts around the globe.

A big ‘thank you’ to all the staff, students, parents, carers, families and Logan community members who reflected alongside us, and supported us behind the scenes – and especially to those who worked so hard to help bring these events together with such solemnity and gravitas on the day.
