About the Gallipoli School Tour
The NSW Government has invested up to $1 million to enable 100 students and up to 28 supervising teachers the opportunity to attend the official Anzac Day commemorative services at Gallipoli in 2015. On 25 April 2015 we mark the 100th anniversary of the Anzac landings at Gallipoli.
NSW students will join students from across Australia, descendants of those who served at Gallipoli, Australian First World War widows, and the thousands of Australians who were successful in the national ballot, in participating in the commemoration ceremonies that will take place at Gallipoli next year.
All NSW government and non-government (Catholic and independent) schools with students enrolled in years 10, 11 and 12 in 2015 were encouraged to submit an online Expression of Interest (EOI) to enter the ballot.
About the Centenary of Anzac
From 2014 to 2018, Australia will commemorate the Centenary of Anzac – 100 years since our nation’s involvement in the First World War.
It will be a time for the NSW community to come together and pay tribute to the first Anzacs and to all the brave servicemen and women who have since followed in their footsteps.
The Centenary is also an opportunity for the current generation to acknowledge those who supported the war from home.
NSW made a major contribution to the overall war effort. Find out more about NSW’s involvement in the First World War.
A Centenary of Anzac Advisory Council has been established to advise the NSW Government on the Centenary Commemoration Program and to act as ambassadors.
All communities across NSW are encouraged to commemorate a century of service. Local community commemorations, events and activities with links to rich local histories are essential to the spirit of a successful Centenary. There are numerous ways that you can get involved.
