The ceremony was led by the school captains who took turns to speak about the significance of Anzac Day.

Year 11 student Jane Fish, one of four recipients of the Colin Sinclair Scholarship, also spoke about her future journey to the Kokoda Track.

The Catafalque party, made up of seven students, assembled, before the captains shared the origins of the Ode of Remembrance.

The ode was recited, followed by The Last Post, before a period of the silence was observed and The Rouse.

Sarah Mackenzie-Ross sang the national anthem before the Catafalque Party conducted its closing procession.

Variations of the same ceremony will be repeated throughout Echuca-Moama as Anzac Day services take place on Friday.
