Hunter Student Wins Anzac Ambassador's Program

BY TANIA SALITRA


Muswellbrook High School student Yasmin Jimmieson has won a trip of a lifetime with five other students from across NSW to visit key Anzac battlegrounds as part of the Premier's Anzac Ambassador's Program. 

Premier Berejiklian announced the successful students this week after the students submitted an essay on the Centenary of Anzac. 

Yasmin will embark on a ten day trip starting in Greece, to explore how the Anzac story unfolded in Athens and Lemnos then walking in the footsteps of the diggers on the Western Front, travelling to Villers-Bretonneux in France, Passchendaele in Belgium and London. 

This opportunity for students to experience a first hand insight into the heroism shown by our soldiers was established to help educate the next generation about the importance of Australia's
Anzac history.
