Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize – teacher chaperones

Secondary teachers can apply for the volunteer role of teacher chaperone to supervise students on the Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize overseas study tour in 2024.

About the study tour

The Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize 2024 is awarded to 12 students.

These students will receive a fully funded 10-day overseas study tour.

We expect that the 2024 overseas study tour will take place during the Victorian September school holidays. All dates are indicative and subject to change.

The Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize study tours aim to connect young Victorians with the legend and spirit of Anzac, which symbolises the courage and sacrifice of Australian service people.
