Active Citizenship in Action
On Monday, Miss Arbon and Miss Sutcliffe had the privilege of accompanying 13 of our Year 10 students to Adelaide Oval for the Active Citizenship Convention 2025.
Themed “Our Voice. Our Impact”, the conference brought together students from across South Australia to explore the importance of democracy, respectful debate, and youth leadership.
Highlights of the day included:
- A Welcome to Country by Jack Buckskin – Kuma Kaaru
- A thought-provoking media panel on youth influence and misinformation
- An inspiring keynote from Amber Brock-Fabel, 2025 Young Australian of the Year
- Lunch with Legends and Leaders – connecting with influential Australians from politics, sport, the arts, and community
- Stories of resilience and voice from Tony Armstron
- A closing performance by DEM MOB, celebrating the voices of young people
Our students engaged in workshops, shared their ideas, and represented our school with pride. Days like this remind us that the future of our democracy is in safe, thoughtful, and passionate hands.
Well done to our Year 10s for embracing this opportunity – your voices truly do make an impact!
