The ceremony in the court yard of Winanga-Li included readings, a traditional tribal dance and speeches from Gunnedah mayor Jamie Chaffey and child care staff members.
Winanga-Li centre manager Wayne Griffiths spoke at the ceremony about the importance of family and history.
Family is number one for me, and I think should be a priority for everyone, Mr Philips said in his speech.
Anzac Day is about remembering our past and paying respect to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Cr Chaffey centered his address around the Anzac spirit.
Anzac Day is not about glorifying war, Cr Chaffey said.
Its about appreciating the service and ultimate sacrifice that everyday Australians gave for this country and in turn, passing that appreciation onto the next generation.
