ANZAC Day Service
ANZAC DAY – LATROBE WREATH LAYING AND CEREMONY: CHANGES TO ANZAC DAY SERVICES
We encourage students and members of families to represent St Patrick’s School by their participation in the annual ANZAC Day march on Monday 25th April. Please inform the school office (call, email or via your child’s diary) of your child’s interest in representing the school in the Latrobe ANZAC Day march before Thursday 7th April. Details for your attention include:
- Students to march in full winter uniform please.
- Students may wear medals on the right side of their shirts or jumpers if this is your desire.
- St Patrick’s Catholic School staff will be available to assist with marshalling the children from 9:30am.
The march to both Latrobe ANZAC Day Services on Monday, 25 April has changed in that participants will form up in BARCLAY STREET, not James Street as is the normal tradition.
This change is at the request of the Latrobe RSL as it enables the Parade to undertake a respectful eyes left at the Sheean Memorial while also being a shorter length, enabling more of their ageing members to participate.
As a result of this change of route, no street parking is permitted in Kobie Lane, Barclay Street and Gilbert Street (between Barclay Street to Hamilton Street) from 5:30am until 11:00am inclusive.
Access to carparks will still be available.
No through traffic, consequently a detour via Cottom Street, will be in effect from 5:30am until 6:30am and again from 9:30am until 11:00am to enable the safe staging of both Services.
Public Health require that attendees check in to these Services via the Check In TAS app. A manual option will also be available. There will be multiple locations to do this before arriving on site and congesting the entry.
Masks are mandatory for the mid-morning Service and your cooperation with this for the safety of the most vulnerable that attend this Service is greatly appreciated.
