Think about entering the Governor's Civics Awards for Schools program in 2023

 


Hi Premier's Anzac Spirit School prize students

Congratulations on being a magnificent group in Darwin this trip. Your co-operation, inquisitiveness and general interest in all aspects of the trip was amazing - as teachers, we congratulate you. We hope you enjoyed the trip as much as we did.  We also encourage you to think about entering the Governor's Civics Awards for Schools program in 2023.  A brief video about the awards is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO91nkPap6c and the brochure at https://www.education.sa.gov.au/docs/curriculum/governor-civics/governors_civics_awards_program_secondary.pdf

The interest you showed about civics when you visited the Northern Territory Parliament indicated your interest in the area of civics and citizenship. Think about entering and having a go at being presented with this prestigious award in 2023.  

Those among you who are in Year 10 in a Department of Education school should also think about entering the Minister's Eden Prize. The question in 2023 is 'How can artificial intelligence make the world a better and happier place?' Information on the prize is at https://www.education.sa.gov.au/students/competitions-and-challenges/eden-prize

All the best for your future studies and thanks for sharing the experience of the trip with us in April 2023..

During this moment I came to understand the sacrifice

  The opportunity  to understand the remarkable sacrifices made by war service people By Harrison Geater-Johnson Early Sunday morning, 18 April 2 021, we visited the Darwin Aviation Museum. The museum was home to a range of aircraft, including renowned bombers, jets, and helicopters. Whilst walking around the museum I was amazed by the various aircraft, the stories and displays. One of the displays I found interesting was of Hajime Toyoshima’s crashed plane and his story. Toyoshima was a Japanese zero pilot. Toyoshima’s aircraft would be damaged by anti-aircraft fire during the Darwin bombing, resulting in Toyoshima to land on Melville Island. Toyoshima’s aircraft would be damaged further during the landing, breaking the propeller, and dislodging the engine. Toyoshima was later captured and disarmed by local Tiwi Islanders. Another display that amazed me was a wall full of Australian veteran memorials who had served in Vietnam. During this moment I came to understand the sacrif
