Congratulations to Alice Connolly and Liana Kelemen (both of Year 10), who have been accepted into a Leadership Program with Melbourne Zoos. Applications were received Victoria wide and only 30 were selected to take part.

This leadership program, run mostly at Melbourne Zoo in Parkville which involves four modules of work throughout the year, including an intensive project tackling real-world marine conservation issues. Alice and Liana will develop leadership skills such as problem-solving, communication, teamwork and innovation. They will also spend time with leaders within the Melbourne Zoos network and explore and assist in their conservation work.

Both Alice and Liana have been leading members of the Environment Council and have a personal passion for the environment, waste reduction and improving the ecological footprint of our community.

This is a wonderful opportunity for both of them and we wish them all the best in the Leadership program.
