Social Hour Sponsor: The Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize

A Once in a lifetime opportunity for students and teachers to travel overseas on an all expenses paid study tour!

The Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize is an annual competition run by the Victorian Government for Victorian students in years 9-12 for the opportunity to go on a fully funded overseas study tour.

12 lucky Victorian students and 3 teacher chaperones will be selected to travel to overseas and explore significant war memorials and historical sites. This experience will increase students learning about Australia’s wartime history and the sacrifices made by those who served and broaden their education and personal outlook.

Previous Prize winners have travelled to places around the world, including Türkiye, Europe, Vietnam and Thailand.

Next year's competition will open in early 2026. Now is the perfect time to think about how you can include the Prize in your 2026 curriculum planning for your students to have the best chance of joining this unique experience. Three teacher chaperones will also be selected to join the students on the international study tour. This could be you!

Social Hour Sponsor: Jacaranda, John Wiley & Sons

For over 70 years, Jacaranda has worked alongside Australian teachers to create ready-to-use resources that keep students engaged and make life easier in the classroom. In Victoria, our Humanities Alive series has become a go-to for both new and experienced teachers thanks to its clear structure and rich, accessible content.

Now fully updated for the Victorian Curriculum 2.0, the latest edition offers even more support to build key skills—enhancing our much-loved SkillBuilder framework to model critical thinking and source analysis in every lesson. It also introduces jacTUTOR, our new AI-powered tutor that gives students instant help, right when they need it. We’re excited to share what’s new at this year’s HTAV conference!
