2025 Premier's Anzac Student Tour
2025 Premier's Anzac Student Tour
The Premier’s Anzac Student Tour will travel to Japan in April 2025.
Accompanied by 3 teachers, the group of 10 students will travel to Japan for the 10-day tour on 18 April 2025.
The 2025 program allows students to investigate the Anzac legacy and those who served in the armed forces in all wars as well as to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.
Students from across Western Australia, including both public and non-government school students, can submit their entries for the chance to be selected as ambassadors for the tour.
An annual competition, open to all Western Australian students in Years 8 to 11, the tour is a unique opportunity for student ambassadors to investigate the Anzac legacy.
Since 2004, 256 students have been chosen for tours to Belgium, England, France, Greece, Malaysia, Singapore, Turkey, Vietnam and around Australia to commemorate the service and sacrifice of Anzac service men and women.
Students are selected as tour ambassadors following a written submission and interviews, demonstrating their interest in Australian history and an understanding of the Anzac legacy.
