The ANZAC Story
came out of Vince’s friendship with Graham Brissett the
co-writer of the show and his association with the 18th Battalion
Re-enactment Group which deals with the 18th Battalion involvement in
the World War 1.

While it was a complete failure costing the lives of thousands of
soldiers the campaign is honoured in Australia and New Zealand on the
25th April as most important day on the Australian calendar. The day and
its meaning carry an emotional impact that people outside Australia and
New Zealand may not be aware of. It became a milestone in Australia’s
History. It was the first time Australia fought as a nation under the
Australian flag and forged the legend of ANZAC.
Every primary and secondary school complete a unit of work on ANZAC and
have an ANZAC Service that follows. The ANZAC STORY performance aims at
giving students an insight into Australia’s role and it asks we remember
the service men and women past and present who fought for this country
and freedom and to keep the memory alive.
The production is aimed at helping the younger generation to understand
a little more and why we should keep the memory of ANZAC alive.
The
actors are wearing authentic World War 1 costumes plus audio and
lighting effects to stimulate the hearing and sight senses of the
students as they become totally involved as we bring alive the ANZAC
Story.
There is no better educational performance that will allow you and
your students the opportunity to experience and learn about the ANZAC
STORY in a memorable, interactive performance ...
Call or Book "The ANZAC STORY" and let your students experience the most
productive educational excursion in Australia.
THE COLONIAL GOLD SHOW IS A REVERSE EXCURSION
or
An INCURSION
A reverse excursion or incursion refers to a school excursion that is
actually performed or done within the school grounds. This is where the performers
come into the school. With the current
policies e.g. risk assessments, insurance and safety issues it is
becoming increasingly difficult for schools to arrange excursions
outside the school. This is a convenient and cost effective method for
the schools.
