Join us to commemorate ANZAC Day 2024

Please join us to commemorate ANZAC Day on Thursday 25th April between 10 am-11 am. All are welcome to attend – students, staff and the wider community.

ANZAC Day promotes a widely felt sense of unity and is an opportunity for New Zealand to pay respects to those who are serving, or have served, and who are called upon to support the country in times of war, conflict and disaster.

Our service will be held on the Quad between Matariki and Puaka-James Hight Building, Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha | University of Canterbury. This will be followed by some refreshments on Okeover Lawn at the Field of Remembrance and the Gallipoli Lone Pine.
