Prize recipients engage in a number of activities pre- and post-tour. A substantial part of the tour preparation involves the research of service personnel who will be commemorated at selected cemeteries and memorial sites in the United Kingdom , Belgium and France. Participants are farewelled by the Premier of Queensland, or their representative and other invited dignitaries. At the post-tour event, the tour group is officially welcomed home and here they share their life-changing experiences.
Young Historian's Workshop—State Library of Queensland
In January, the Premier's Anzac Prize students attend a 2-day workshop at the State Library of Queensland. The students and chaperones are given the opportunity for a behind-the-scenes tour of the library and complete their research on service men and women who served for Australia with the assistance of a group of mentors from the State Library.
Student Service—Anzac Square, Brisbane
Each year the ANZAC Day Commemoration Committee organises the Anzac Day service for Queensland primary and high school students. The event takes place a few days before Anzac Day and prize recipients from previous years are invited to participate in this event. The recipients undertake official duties at the ceremony, such as meeting and greeting the Governor-General and the Premier of Queensland, reciting the Ode and other poems and delivering a speech in response to the Governor’s address. The prize recipients also lay a wreath on behalf of the Premier's Anzac Prize.
