On Wednesday, 4 September, a group of JPC students proudly represented our school at the 2024 Battle for Australia Commemorative Ceremony held at the Australian War Memorial. This service commemorates the period between 1942 and 1945 when Australia faced the threat of foreign invasion. It aims to educate students about the bravery and sacrifice of Australians during the Second World War in the Pacific.

Their participation in this significant event emphasised the importance of remembering our history and paying tribute to those who served. Students had the privilege of meeting three war veterans and listening to their powerful stories from the Second World War.

Thank you to the students who represented JPC with respect and pride at this commemorative ceremony.
