“A common belief draws us together. We believe that to be Australian is to seek to remember, to understand and to honour the sacrifice of the Anzac,” Mr Tavener said.
“We believe this is as fundamental to being Australian as it is to be fair.
“We know Anzac has inspired 100 year of brave Australian and New Zealand service of war.”
More than 100 students, staff and community members gathered together for the service at 7am on the school grounds.
The names of those Old Boys who made the ultimate sacrifice were read out, and included the three Sandilands brothers who all lost their lives in World War II, and Lt Michael Fussell who was killed in Afghanistan in 2008.
