Each year, the Stanthorpe RSL Sub Branch presents a book as an award to a Year 6 student of each of the fourteen public primary schools in the district. The award is given to a student who displays the ANZAC Spirit.
The values of the ANZAC Spirit include such human qualities as courage, mateship, fairness, persistence, integrity, humour, initiative, endurance, determination, ingenuity, respect, and the "selfless spirit of ANZAC".
