To coincide with Remembrance Day 2016, at the 11th Hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month, the 2017 Premier's ANZAC Spirit Prize was launched in South Australia. Posters, flyers and the documents re: competition details and entry information will be in South Australian schools this week and all is go for another great ANZAC Prize initiative in 2017.
As was the case in 2016 and traced in this blog, the study tour for the 2017 prize is to Vietnam in October next year.
From 2007- 2013 prize winners visited locations particular to their study and participated in the Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate in Leper, Belgium, a community commemoration at Dernancourt in France and at the Dawn Service on ANZAC Day at the Australian National War Memorial at Villers Brettoneaux in northern France.
In 2014, the prizewinners visited Singapore and Korea with a focus on WW II and the Korean conflict.
In 2015, 22 students travelled to Gallipoli to take part in the historic ANZAC Centenary Dawn Service.
The competition associated with the tour provides the opportunity for young South Australians to identify examine and articulate the nature of commitment and in many cases the sacrifices of Australian service men and women in the service of their country during times of conflict.
The 2017 Premier's ANZAC Spirit School Prize webpage on the DECD site at www.decd.sa.gov.au/anzacschoolprize/ is now active to check out the details for the 2017 prize.
