Anzac Day community connections

Community connections play an essential role in Anzac commemorations, helping students understand the importance of service, sacrifice and remembrance. When local community groups come together, they strengthen the shared values that underpin this national tradition and create meaningful learning experiences.

This year, we extend our heartfelt thanks to the wonderful members of the Karabi Seniors Knitting Group, who generously provided the handmade knitted poppies which will be worn by the History Ambassadors, Student Leadership Team, members of the College Leadership team and HSIE Faculty during the 2026 Santa Sabina College Anzac Day Commemoration in Term 2. This contribution of symbolism also reminds us of the power of community working together to honour the Anzac spirit. Below is an extract from the letter written by Allegra Musca, Alannah Quinn and Mira Nguyen who are the 2026 Year 11 History Ambassadors to thank the Karabi Seniors Knitting Group.

Thank you for being so generous with your time and expertise in making Anzac Day poppies for our community. We are so honoured to be able to wear these with pride at our Commemoration Assembly. Lest We Forget.

Head of HSIE (Humanities and Social Sciences)
