Samantha will be one of the 24 students selected to be a 2016 Premier's ANZAC Memorial Scholar.
In July this year these students will travel to some of the key battlefields and memorial sites in France and Belgium to commemorate and learn about Australia's involvement in WW1.
Significant among the sites will be the battlefields of Pozieres and Fromelles. This will be an amazing opportunity for all the students to walk the ground where the lives of so many soldiers were lost during this conflict.
The Scholarship was established in 2008. It is funded by the NSW Government and is managed by Veteran's Affairs within the department of the Premier.
Samantha is now the fourth HKHS student to be selected for this scholarship.
