ANZAC March and Assembly
Every year, GEPS students and families proudly march in the Gosford ANZAC Day March through the streets of Gosford City. We then attend the ANZAC Day Service. As a school, we are lucky to have a treasured relationship with Gosford RSL who attend our school service. ANZAC Day is important to our school because it allows us to honour the courage and sacrifice of those who served, while fostering respect, gratitude, and a shared sense of history within our community.
“Our principal’s heartfelt embrace of the school community reflects a strong and compassionate leadership that is both reassuring and motivating. The school’s vision, values, and commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive school environment are clearly evident when you visit.” — a parent of Gosford East Public School
