Frank MacDonald Memorial Prize Study Tour 2023-2024

Congratulations to the six winners of the Frank MacDonald Memorial Prize for 2023 as they embark on the journey of a lifetime in April 2024. The winners are:

• Carolyn Townsend, MacKillop Catholic College
• Erin Rowlands, Dominic College
• Esther Mbabazi, Montrose Bay High
• Holly Stark, Rose Bay High
• Macy Deegan, Devonport High School
• Tori Hall, Scottsdale High School

The Frank MacDonald Memorial Prize is named in honour of Tasmania’s last surviving World War 1 veteran and plays a vital role in ensuring our young remember the stories of our veterans.

Open to all Year 9 students in Tasmania, the Frank MacDonald Memorial Prize is an essay-based competition to help promote and preserve the meaning of the ANZAC spirit in the Tasmanian community.

Since the prize’s inception in 2004, thousands of Tasmanian students have entered the competition and discovered more about Tasmania’s military history and the spirit of those who left our shores for the war effort to protect those they were leaving behind.

Students travelling to the Western Front in Europe undertake research into individual soldiers. The research is presented during the tour and helps build understanding of the experiences of soldiers and nurses who served.

The winners pictured above are (left to right): Carolyn Townsend (MacKillop Catholic College), Holly Stark (Rose Bay High School), Esther Mbabazi (Montrose Bay High School), Tori Hall (Scottsdale High School), Macy Deegan (Devonport High School), and Erin Rowlands (Dominic College).

The Frank MacDonald Memorial Prize is a study tour for approximately 14 days.  The tour party will also include:

• Dean Young, MP Liberal Member for Franklin
• Peter Williams, Northern Director RSL Tasmania
• Katie Kelly, Department of Premier and Cabinet
• Sherri Rainbow, Scottsdale High School teacher
• Emma Cohen, Burnie High School teacher.
