National Young Leaders Day - NYLD//2013

   

Congratulations to the 11 students who were selected (by application process) to attend the National Young Leaders Day at the Air Force Museum in Wigram.  

The theme for this year was 'Heroes'.  

We were treated to a number of inspirational and entertaining speakers:

Jason Gunn - TV personality

Christian Gallen - Experienced youth communicator – Attitude presenter

Sam Johnson - Founder of Student Volunteer Army

Sophie Pascoe - Paralympian and Gold Medallist

Cam Calkoen - Athlete and founder of the Carabiner Mentoring Programme

Jamie McDell - Special guest performer   

I feel very privileged to have attended the event with such a high caliber of students.  Well done Jess for doing Room 18 proud today!  What an exceptional young lady you are becoming!

Students who attended the event will feedback what they consider to be the most important points as they continue on their own leadership journeys.

Just like in the superhero comics...

 

The 2nd speaker of the day discussed 'choosing your crew carefully'.  

Surround yourself with high achievers and you will succeed!
