Applications are now open for up to 20 NSW students to participate in the annual Premier’s Anzac Memorial Scholarship (PAMS) study tour, which will visit historic sites relating to Australia’s military history in the Republic of Korea and Singapore in 2025.
Tour locations in the Republic of Korea include the site of the Battle of Kapyong, the Demilitarised Zone and the UN First Battle Memorial in Osan.
In Singapore, the tour will take in sites such as the Kranji War Memorial, Changi Prison Chapel and Museum and the Fort Siloso and Surrender Chambers.
Minister for Veterans and Member for Wyong David Harris said the PAMS study tour was a once in a lifetime opportunity and encouraged all Year 10 and Year 11 history students to consider applying.
“Scholarship recipients will explore Australia’s military history and visit locations where Australians fought abroad and in Singapore later becoming involved in the Korean War, only five years after the end of the Second World War.
“This tour is an opportunity for students to gain a deeper understanding of the service and sacrifice of our soldiers and the impacts war have had on countries around the world.”
The 2025 tour will take place in the Term 3 school holidays departing on Monday, September 29 and returning to Sydney on Friday, October 10.
