- Pauline Stockill and the Senior Choir for their beautiful delivery of ‘I am Australian’ and leading the assembly with the singing of the anthems,
- Jen Owens for conducting the Senior Concert Band and playing the Last Post and Reveille,
- And our school captains, Owen and Emily, and our school vice captains, Asher and Zoe, for speaking throughout this ceremony and supporting the wreath laying.
