Message from the Director General
The ANZAC legend and all that it embodies has become an essential part of the Australian way of life with 25 April being one of the most revered days on the nation's calendar.
Each year we do much more than remember the Australians and New Zealanders who landed on the hostile shores of Gallipoli. We also pay tribute to the many brave men and women who have given service of this country in times of war, on the homefront and through peace-keeping duties in the period that has followed.
The Premier's ANZAC Student Tour aims to instil in our students the importance of ANZAC Day and the true significance and relevance of the ANZAC sprit.
The tour is a wonderful opportunity for outstanding young ambassadors to represent Western Australia as participants on a unique history study tour.
Schools nominate students who display excellent interpersonal skills and self confidence and have an interest in history and knowledge of the ANZAC experience.
Students are also required to be aware of the positive values exhibited in times of war, the lessons of war for the current generation, and the importance of international peace-keeping processes and non-violent means of resolving conflict.
Parents and teachers are urged to prepare, guide and encourage students to participate in this program.
