SWAN Hill students have the opportunity to embark on a fully-funded 11-day study tour to Gallipoli, where they will retrace the footsteps of the Anzacs.
Veterans Minister Natalie Suleyman this week invited students in Year 9 to 12 to apply for the 2025 Spirit of Anzac Prize and gain a deeper understanding of Australia’s wartime history.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize, ensuring that Victorian students continue to learn about our veterans’ service and sacrifice. This milestone is particularly significant as students will visit Gallipoli on the 110th anniversary of the Anzacs’ landing on April 25, 1915.
Ms Suleyman said by walking the same ground as those who served, students will gain a “profound appreciation of the resilience, mateship, and courage” that define the Anzac spirit.
“As part of their application, students will reflect on their interest in wartime history, their understanding of Anzac values, their contributions to their school and community, and the knowledge they hope to gain from this unique experience,” she said.
Applications close on Monday, April 28.
