The annual 2024 Anzac Commemoration School service will be held at Anzac Square, Brisbane, on Tuesday 23 April 2024, 10-11am. This service is open to all schools in Southeast Queensland and is a wonderful opportunity for students to pay their respects to Australian defence personnel who have served our nation from WWI to present. It aims to enhance understanding amongst school students of the Spirit of ANZAC and the relevance of this Spirit to the development of our nation. The ceremony is usually attended by more than 3,000 students along with official guests including the Governor of Queensland, the Premier of Queensland, the Leader of the Opposition, the Lord Mayor of Brisbane, senior military personnel and community leaders.
More information about the service can be found here.
Following the service students and teachers are encouraged to attend a 15 minute-guided tour of the Anzac Square Memorial Galleries, conducted by our knowledgeable staff. Tours will depart every 5 minutes until 1pm, with bookings not required. Simply meet our staff at your preferred time near the entry to World War I Memorial Crypt. Look for the large double brass doors located in the left corner of the Anzac Square parkland.
Tours will provide an overview of the Memorial Galleries and highlight resources available onsite for students and teachers. Our interactive displays allow students to embark on a journey from WWI to today, enriching their understanding of Anzac Day and the Queensland war experience. Within the galleries visitors can explore military collections and discover the people, places and stories that exemplify the Anzac spirit.
