The 2017 Premier’s Anzac Ambassadors Program will take six students to Greece and Israel.
Member for Hawkesbury Dominic Perrottet encouraged Hawkesbury students to apply for the program.
“I encourage students from across the Hawkesbury to apply for the Premier’s Anzac Ambassadors Programme for the chance of a lifetime to retrace the steps of our Anzac heroes who gave so much for our country,” Mr Perrottet said.
Students must submit a 1000-word essay on the topic: Why is the Centenary of Anzac important for modern Australia and what lessons are learned from the Battle of Beersheba in 1917?
The six successful applicants will travel to Lemnos in Greece and to Israel for the centenary of the Charge of the Fourth Light Horse Brigade at Beersheba.
Applications close Monday 31 July 2017. For more information about how to enter visit www.clubsnsw.com.au/anzacambassadors.
