Getting ready to go to Darwin

Image
  Getting ready to head-off to Darwin and surrounds on 16 Apri l After a few false starts and the disappointment of the study tour to France being cancelled because of the pandemic, the 2020 Premier's Anzac Spirit School Prize students are finally approved to travel to Darwin and the Top End of the Northern Territory during April this year.   The historical focus is learning about and commemoration of the Bombing of Darwin during World War 2.  As you will see from the itinerary below, the study tour also has a strong cultural and geographical focus as the group travels from Darwin to Kakadu, to Katherine and then onto Litchfield National Park.  The trip is planned and the itinerary is as follows: Fri, 16 April 2021 0730 Depart Adelaide Airport (QF858) to Darwin. Arrive Darwin 1110. Overnight in Darwin at H on Smith Hotel Sat, 17 April 2021 Visit Darwin War Museum and tour of Darwin environs. Over...

Welcome to Lauren Smith

Image
  As previously communicated, Liesl McPeake is unable to travel with us now and her teacher role has been taken by Lauren Smith from Wirreanda High School. Lauren travelled with the Premier's Anzac Spirit School Prize study tour to Vietnam in 2019 and we are extremely pleased to welcome her to the tour party in 2023.  Here is a brief introduction from Lauren - we look forward for Lauren to meet you all and be part of the travel team.  My name is Lauren and I am currently a Stage 2 Modern History teacher at Wirreanda Secondary School, as well as overseeing Research Project, PLP, SACE and VET Pathways. I am really excited to join you all on our Darwin Study Tour and develop my knowledge on the Darwin campaign. Previously, I have had three students win the Premier’s Anzac Spirit Prize (one being Annabel’s older brother) and was privileged to accompany the last tour to Vietnam in 2019. I have seen how the experiences associated with the research process, study tour, and publi...

April has not happened but all is go for October!

  Still waiting for Darwin Study Tour but it will happen!! Unfortunately, we needed to cancel the April trip because of COVID considerations. Whilst incredibly disappointing, the good news is that the trip has been re-scheduled for 1-11 October this year.  The itinerary has been completed and booked with only a few changes. The main reason for the changes is that we do not now have Anzac Day commitments in Darwin, and as a result we can spend more time adventuring in Kakadu and Arnhem Land. The new trip looks fantastic and we now have to wait another 6 month before the group finally has the trip to share and learn from.  Whilst it has been a long wait, the staff are determined that this will be a great trip for you all. We will probably meet as a group before October because in June a new group of Premier Anzac Spirit School Prize awardees will be announced and presented with their medallions and certificates - you will all be invited to that ceremony if it is held before...
