MARSDEN State High School teacher Alison Marsh has been named one of two teachers to chaperon an educational trip of a lifetime.
She will oversee eight students as part of the state premier’s Anzac Prize.
They’ll visit some of Australia’s most important and historical war sites in Europe.
“It’s wonderful to see the travel component return and for our students to visit sites in London, Prance, and Belgium,” Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said.
“It will allow the group to see and hear first-hand, the Anzac tradition and become ambassadors for the Anzac legacy when they return.
“Previous winners have come home with a deep understanding and appreciation of the Anzac history and spirit.
“I’m also delighted to announce they’ll be accompanied by my assistant minister for veterans Bart Mellish, a tireless advocate for the RSL and our vets.”
Education Minister Grace Grace said the winners were chosen from 40 high-quality applicants.
“The students will be in years 9 to 12 when they travel in April,” Ms Grace said.
“This really is a life-changing experience.
“It’s an opportunity to deepen their knowledge and appreciation of our Anzac history, and to experience the world, and share those experiences with their friends and fellow students.”
The 2023 Premier’s Anzac Prize is presented in partnership with RSL Queensland, a platinum sponsor for the next three years.
