Youth Advisory Panel Presenters

We would like to thank the dedicated Year 8 students and their wonderfully supportive parents who helped facilitate the student’s participation in two Zoom call meetings with students from around the world, during the Summer holidays. Jessica Cronin, Cody Walker, Nicole Hodgett and Grace Healey were chosen from over 800 applicants to participate in the Youth Advisory Panel for the World's Largest Lesson. Our students, through these Zoom calls are fortunate enough to interact with 18 students from 16 different countries.

As most students involved in the Youth Advisory Panel do not have their summer holidays in December and January, the World’s Largest Lesson calls continued through our holiday period. In the first session, students completed activities with focus on the United Nations Climate Change Conference which was held in Dubai in December 2023. In the second session, held in January, Jessica and Cody presented their project about sewing products for injured Australian wildlife who suffer through bushfires. Our dedicated students are learning a lot about the United Nations Sustainability Goals and will be presenting their thoughts on ways that we can increase our support of these goals at Pacific very soon.
