Lions Youth of the Year
On Sunday 19 February, our College Captains, Georgia K and Madeleine D, and Deputy Captain, Pria T, all participated in the Lions Youth of the Year competition at the Ashwood-Mt Waverley Club. The competition consists of an interview and public speaking components.
Each student spoke with passion and confidence about their chosen topics: ‘Social media threatens democracy’, ‘The most important learning is done outside the classroom’ and ‘The objectification of female superheroes’.
Students were also asked to respond to two impromptu topics without any preparation time – a difficult task for anyone, and particularly in front of an audience. Students were asked to discuss whether or not ‘AI will threaten the way we think’ and ‘what event impacted them most in 2023’.
Congratulations to Madeleine D who won best public speaker, and Georgia K who won the Youth of the Year award for the Lions Club Ashwood-Mt Waverley. Next month, Georgia will compete with other young leaders in the regional final.
The three students did a brilliant job of representing the College and themselves. It is great to see the glowing self-confidence of students who have stepped out of their comfort zone and overcome a challenge. We wish our students all the best on their journey as young leaders
