The Premier's ANZAC Spirit School Prize students meet the Governor

Premier's ANZAC Spirit School Prize students at Government House on 4th November.


A reception at Government House

The 2016 Premier's ANZAC Spirit School Prize students were invited to meet the Governor of South Australia, His Excellency Hieu Van Le and Mrs Le on 4th November, 2016. This event was the final stage of a remarkable journey for the 8 students involved in this years Premier's ANZAC Spirit School Prize to Vietnam. As well as the unique opportunity to meet the Governor and visit Government House, the reception was particularly poignant in consideration of the story of His Excellency and his connection to Vietnam. It certainly was a special occasion and a very moving and apt way for the 2016 Premier's ANZAC Spirit School Prize students to finish their journey. We are also pleased that the Minister for Education and Child Development, Dr Susan Close MP was able to attend the reception. In her role as Minister of Education, Susan Close has taken a special interest in the initiative and I am sure enjoyed talking to the students at the reception.

I am sure the group will maintain contact into the future and we look forward to hear about their work in spreading the Anzac Spirit  message to their community and beyond over coming months.
