Dear Yanchep News Online,

I am writing to let your readers know about the Yanchep Rise Primary School 2026 Anzac dawn service, which was an incredible display of our RISER community coming together.

It was a truly special morning that reflected the respect, pride and connection we value so strongly at our school.

The Kapa Haka group performing the Haka was outstanding and a real highlight of the service.

Their strength, unity and presence captured the spirit of the occasion beautifully.

A big congratulations to our student leaders who led the service with such confidence and maturity.

Our head boy Harvey and head girl Matilda did an exceptional job as emcees.

We were also incredibly proud of Tyler, who wrote and delivered the acknowledgement of country with confidence and respect.

These moments remind us of the strength of leadership growing within our students.

Helen Demiris
