Griffith Future Leaders Retreat

During the final week of the school holidays, I was privileged to attend the Griffith Future Leaders Retreat. The retreat was such a worthwhile and fantastic experience, which included an array of both educational and leisure activities such as sports sessions, drumming workshops and touring the Griffith Pharmacy and Pharmacology classrooms. One of the additional highlights was visiting the Griffith Sea Jellies Illuminated exhibit at Sea World. Throughout the three-day camp, we listened to a multitude of inspirational speakers such as Naomi White, Director of Metamorph co, Lucy Gregg from Ylead Association and public speaker Tim Bennet, providing us with a range valuable of skills to improve our presenting techniques in front of larger audiences.

The event was also a perfect opportunity to network with other like-minded leaders, in which we were able to discuss our goals and aspirations within our communities. Through meeting and reaching out to the other students, I truly feel as though I have made lifelong friends and connections. I highly recommend this program for Year 12 students.
