Anzac Day Schools’ Awards 2023 – entries now open
The theme for the 2023 Anzac Day Schools’ Awards is now official – Commemorating Australia’s Vietnam War Service.
Schools across Australia are encouraged to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of Australia’s involvement in the Vietnam War. This theme aims to inspire students to discover personal stories and take part in commemorative activities to honour the service and sacrifice of Australian men and women who served in the Vietnam War.
The Anzac Day Schools’ Awards is a national competition that recognises the creative and engaging work of primary and secondary students, teachers and schools when learning about our military history. The awards encourage schools to connect with veterans and current serving personnel to provide students with a personal and meaningful understanding of Australia’s wartime history.
Previous entries have included a wide variety of projects. Schools can showcase their work in creative ways such as:
- making a podcast to share with the school community
- creating an exhibit, gallery walk or virtual tour
- recording a video chronicling the life and contributions of a veteran
- building a website to share student investigations.
Schools can start preparing now for their entry and submit any time until 31 May 2023. For more information, including prizes, entry requirements and judging criteria to help start planning, visit our Anzac Portal.
