Over the last two weeks, groups of our leaders have had the opportunity to be involved in a range of Youth Leadership opportunities, and even ran their first assembly! On May 19^th, Year 7 leaders along with our Year 8 STEM, Citizenship and Sustainability ambassadors went along to the Gold Coast City Council Junior Leaders Conference. Here they discussed innovation and creativity, and engaged in project based learning to effect change in their local community.  

I really enjoyed working with my peers to fix problems in our community and making our community a better place for everyone to live in. I really enjoyed learning new things! – Angel Whare

I really enjoyed the whole experience today. My favourite part of the day was collaborating with people that I hadn't talked to much before and learning how others see leadership. – Sophie Harmon

Last week, 9 of our Year 9 leaders had the opportunity to join fellow school leaders from around the Gold Coast at Bond University for the YLead conference. It was a fantastic day for our Year 9 leaders to engage and interact in a program that develops the leader within and demonstrated the importance of everyone making a positive contribution to the school community. Our students were empowered to be their best and make a positive difference. The skills and knowledge they gained from the YLead conference they will share with fellow leaders through our continued leadership program.
