Service

Located in close proximity to the College canteen is our ‘Memorial Garden and ANZAC shrine’. This garden pays respect to teachers and non-teachers who passed whilst working at the College or past students who served and honoured our country in service. Each year a service takes place which allows the College community to pay their respect to those who have passed.
