Congratulations to Ngaire Simmons, Imogen Froby and Mazlyn Membry who have all made it to the finals of the Premier’s Anzac Student Tour for 2024. Each of the girls wrote an essay on the Anzac spirit for their initial entry. Ngaire wrote about Pilbara local Percy Gratwick who was awarded a Victoria Cross in World War One. Imogen also wrote about a local in her essay about Elizabeth Bridget Grover, a Katanning woman who nursed soldiers from Gallipoli during WW1 while Mazlyn wrote about her grandfather, Richard Rooney, who fought in the Vietnam War. Ngaire, Imogen and Mazlyn will have their final interview on Friday 6th October from where the 10 students who will tour Singapore in April next year will be chosen.
Good luck girls.
