ANZAC Day Commemorated at Sacred Heart
In the spirit of collegiality between schools, Sacred Heart School was honoured to welcome Mr Chris Graham, supported by Newman Catholic College, Smithfield. Mr Graham spoke to our students about the significance of ANZAC Day and the powerful tradition of the bugle call.
Bringing history to life in a way that our students will always remember, Mr Graham gave a hands-on demonstration with the bugle, allowing students to experience this iconic sound for themselves.
Mr Graham continued to support the Torres Strait community throughout the weekend, playing at the Dawn Service and other ceremonies across Thursday Island. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Newman Catholic College for their partnership, and to Mr Graham for so generously sharing his time, talents, and deep respect for the ANZAC tradition.
Across the Thursday Island community, Sacred Heart students, staff, and families proudly gathered to commemorate ANZAC Day, honouring the sacrifice and spirit of all who have served.
Lest we forget.

We acknowledge and pay our respects to the Kaurareg people, the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which our school is built, the first to meet, learn, and celebrate here. We honour their enduring custodianship and the care they continue to give to this place. We respect their history and stories, which continue to sustain and inspire all who call this place home. We turn to God, Creator of all, who gives us strength and wisdom, guiding us to discern and pursue a better way in all that we do.
