Mount Duneed Regional Primary School’s George Bramley has been judged as the winner of the Spirit of Anzac perpetual trophy.
George received the trophy, provided by Geelong RSL sub-branch, at the 2024 Primary Schools Citizenship Award function held by Barwon Region
of the Order of Australia Association.
It was the seventh award occasion and the first when individual students were asked to present on what citizenship meant to them.
Students provided a wide variety of reasons for the importance of citizenship with George focusing on his charity work for Love Olive in memory of his sister.

Hugo Olsson was runner-up. All seven students participating received a certificate with the winner and runner-up also receiving a cash prize.
The award is provided by the Barwon Regional Group as a way of meeting its aim: ‘To celebrate and promote outstanding Australian citizenship’.
