Hunter students are being given the opportunity to travel to historic Anzac battlefields as part of the 2017 Premier's ANZAC Ambassadors Program.
Six successful applicants across NSW will have the opportunity of a lifetime to travel to historical battlefields in Greece and Israel to retrace the steps of the ANZAC's over a two week tour.
Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter Scot MacDonald is encouraging local high school students to take part in the essay competition in a bid to deepen their understanding of the events and contributions made by service men and women from the Hunter.
"It did have a big impact and it did shake the Hunter there's no question about it. A lot of people did serve and did go overseas and of course there were a lot of people supporting them back home,""I'd just urge any student who is interested to have a go, you know you could be one of the six on the tour and I just think it would be wonderful if someone from the Hunter made that cut," said Scot MacDonald.
The competition closes on 31st July with the tour taking place between 24th October and 5th November. For more information visit www.clubnsw.com.au/anzacambassadors
