Australian Ex-Prisoners of War Memorial

In 2014 the Trustees commenced a campaign to suggest that in lieu of wreaths, that a book tribute be placed instead, these Book Tributes are later distributed to schools in the Ballarat area.

Ballarat North Primary School have been lucky to have received 4 books for our library. Against the Odds Albert Coates a Heroic Life by Walter Gherardin, Three Thousand, Eight Hundred and One Trees written by Naomi Irvin, The Earth in Our Hands by Thomas Pesquet and Stubby, A True Story of Friendship by Michael Foreman.

The Australian Ex-Prisoners of War Memorial have distributed 550 books to Ballarat Schools. This year a further 98 books will be distributed.

We thank the trustees for their donation for our school.
