English and Humanities

Congratulations are in order for Ebony Dewadasa in Year 12 for being selected to represent the college at the National Schools Constitutional Convention 2021 in March.

The National Schools Constitutional Conventions program aims to increase young Australians’ knowledge about the Australian Constitution and the role it plays in our democracy. 

Ebony is one of 25 students selected to attend the two day convention. The topic this year is should the Constitution have a new preamble that would recognise our history, our aspirations and the many peoples and groups that make up our nation?

Ebony will be provided an opportunity to explore contemporary constitutional issues, be better informed about the Australian system of government and how the Australian Constitution provides the framework for our democracy. She is demonstrating an active interest in the traditions, processes and practices of government.

We are very excited for Ebony and look forward to hearing about her experience.
