2018 Premier's Anzac Spirit School Prize Reception in the RSL SA Hall
7th December, 2018
The 2018 Premier's Anzac Spirit School Prize Reception was held yesterday in the RSL SA Memorial Hall. Again, thank you to RSL SA for their amazing support with the prize and continued involvement. The reception is a chance for the group to get together for one last time and share their reflections and learning with family, education staff and the veteran community.
The students did a great job reflecting on their favourite moment form the trip and our guest speakers were wonderful in setting the scene for the occasion. Here are just some photographs from the reception that show the great confidence and enthusiasm of the students and the sincere involvement of our guests.

I'd just like to give you the biggest Thank You Malcom. Without your perseverance, dedication, passion, organising, and initiative, myself along with everyone involved within the ANZAC Prize for 2018 would not have had the amazing opportunity we did.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to keeping in contact with you, and everyone whom was also involved. Thank You so much.
