The 2023 Premier’s ANZAC Spirit School Prize has been awarded to 20 Year 9 and 10 students from across South Australia, with the recipients to attend a 12-day study tour to Vietnam in April 2024 to coincide with Anzac Day.  
The Premier’s ANZAC Sprit School Prize provides the opportunity for young South Australians to examine and empathise with the remarkable sacrifices of South Australian service men and women during the 20th century.
Taking part in the competition gives teachers a chance to provide an authentic research task as part of the compulsory History depth study of World War 1 for Year 9 students and World War 2 for Year 10 students in the Australian Curriculum.  
The competition involves students researching a South Australian service man or woman who served during World War 1 or 2. Students also had to discuss how the individual they researched demonstrated the characteristics of the Anzac spirit.  
Student work was judged by the depth of research involved and the written quality of the piece.  
A formal award ceremony will be held today, Monday 6 November 2023, at the Torrens Parade Grounds in Adelaide.
