Lions Youth of the Year

Our school captains once again represented the College at the Caloundra and Kawana Lions Club Youth of the Year competitions. Each student was interviewed about their aspirations, their current interests and their general knowledge. They then presented formal prepared speeches and responsed to impromptu topics at a dinner meeting with a room full of members and guests.

At the Kawana final, Elsa Jonsson, Will Minns and Emily Brewster spoke about what they would do if they were a political leader for a day. Their responses demonstrated their understanding of democratic processes and their vision for the future.

At Caloundra, students were asked to identify an inspirational person and explain what qualities that person had. Jack Bange, Jack Gretton and Chelsea Ricotta provided a range of ideas from sportspeople to family members who had shaped their ideas about the value of a person.

These students should be very proud of their achievements and the Lions Club members are always very receptive to their young voices and appreciate the time and energy that goes into such a competition.
