Lions Youth of the Year

On Wednesday 2 November, the youth of our region were showcased in the prestigious Lions Youth of the Year Award. This Award recognises and affirms the ideas, dreams and aspirations of our youth.
 

The speech night saw our wonderful Gabrielle M of Year 11, complete the prepared and impromptu sections of this competition. First in line for impromptu, Gabbie handled with ease the questions “Are we relying too much on technology” and “If you were in Parliament, what would you do to improve our local area?” Speaking in front of a room full of people, Gabbie did not miss a beat. It was the same for her prepared speech on marriage equality. She had them in the palm of her hand. Gabbie’s superior speaking skills earned her the outstanding achievement of Winner in the Public Speaking section. Congratulations Gabbie. We are all very proud of you.
