During 2015 Dr Baguley was awarded a Australian Government ANZAC Centenary Arts and Culture Public Fund Grant with Dr Martin Kerby from St Joseph's Nudgee College in Brisbane. The grant supported a sound and light show using the heritage listed buildings of the school to 'reveal' the stories of past students and their war time experience. Dr Baguley was also one of the lead artists on a 2014 Queensland ANZAC Centenary Grant and was responsible for the design and creation of a six panel textile artwork. The outcomes of both grants were exhibited at the college on October 24, 2015. Dr Baguley and Dr Kerby were awarded a 2017 Queensland Anzac Centenary Spirit of Service Grant and presented the outcomes in October at the State Library of Queensland.
