Students and families also attended the event with the children given the opportunity to discuss with dignitaries the work they had produced.

The artwork was then judged by parents and visitors with a number of students nominated for the chance to visit Turkey where they will have the opportunity to explore the battlegrounds, cemeteries and the living legacy of the war.

The selected students will also have the distinction of designing a permanent memorial to the conflict.
