The RSL and Schools Remember ANZAC Student Art Competition
The RSL and Schools Remember ANZAC Commemoration was first held in 1953, co-hosted by RSL NSW and the Department of Education. Over the years the service has expanded to Catholic Schools NSW and the Association of Independent Schools NSW.
Proceedings, held at the ANZAC Memorial Hyde Park in April each year, are delivered entirely by school students including the Master of Ceremonies, keynote address, readings, and musical accompaniment. The Service also includes an Inspection of the Guard by the official party, The Ode, The Last Post, and Rouse.
To mark the 70th Anniversary of this service RSL NSW, the Department of Education, Catholic Schools NSW and the Association of Independent Schools NSW have held an art competition open to all NSW school students.
Year 7 student, Georgia Hartley’s artwork, has been selected as a finalist in the running to be the chosen artwork to feature on the cover of the 2023 RSL and Schools Remember ANZAC Commemoration. This artwork will be on display at the ANZAC Memorial in April 2023 and Georgia will be presented with a finalist certificate and medal.
The final round of judging will take place on 7 November, with the expert judging panel including representatives from NSW Education Standards Authority, Art Gallery of NSW, RSL NSW and the ANZAC Memorial Veteran Artist in Residence. They will determine one primary and one secondary from the finalists as the winners.
