Frank MacDonald Memorial Prize Study Tour 2021-2022

A group of people

Members of the Frank MacDonald Memorial Prize Study Tour for 2021-2022 have been announced.

Traditionally, the tour group travels in April each year for approximately 10-14 days and visits sites that relate to Tasmanian involvement in World War One in France and Belgium.  Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and international travel restrictions there was no tour awarded in 2020. When the tour reopened in 2021, two groups of students were selected from applicants in both grade 9 and 10. The tour undertaken in 2022 became a domestic study tour of significant World War One and World War Two sites in Albany, Western Australia and Darwin, in the Northern Territory.
