Applications are now open for the Chief Minister’s Study Tour 2027 to give a new group of Northern Territory Year 9 students the chance to take their learning beyond the classroom and onto the international stage.

Following the success of the inaugural Study Tour this year, with the theme Shared history, shared future, students will learn about Australia’s military history in the region, connect with leaders in defence, explore future career opportunities, and experience significant cultural and historical sites.

The June 2027 Study Tour will visit significant historic sites in Okinawa, Japan, including the Okinawa Peace Memorial Museum and the Former Japanese Navy Underground Headquarters, alongside cultural and educational experiences that connect the region’s past with its role in the Indo-Pacific today.

The competition is open to Northern Territory students currently in Year 9 with an interest in areas such as defence, history, international relations, leadership or the Indo-Pacific.

The successful students will be accompanied by chaperones, providing supervision, support and mentoring throughout the tour.

Applications are now open until 19 October, with eight students to be selected for a fully funded study tour to Okinawa, Japan, in June 2027.
