Lions Youth of the Year 

Lions Youth of the Year is program today for the leaders of tomorrow and Mount Alvernia has some outstanding leaders. We are very proud to announce our Lions Youth of the Year Competitors: Amaeh, Emma, Imogen & Sarah. These students compete last Saturday, being interviewed, presenting speeches and answering impromptu questions about their world and beyond. Congratulations to Amaeh who was presented the Public Speaking Award on the day and to both Imogen and Sarah who won their respective streams. We can’t wait to hear how they go in the next round.

Lord Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council & Lord Mayor’s Young Environmental Leadership Network

At assembly this week, I addressed students around the role they have as both sources of inspiration and keepers of the future. In line with this, we congratulate the following students who have been selected as representatives of Mount Alvernia College for the following Youth Council Networks:

Lord Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council: Bronte Bowers

“The Lord Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council aims to develop young people as leaders and is specifically designed to provide an opportunity for young people in Brisbane to identify issues and engage with each other in a public forum… The delegates work with their peers to generate and share ideas regarding initiatives that fulfil environmental, social, creative, economic, diversity and inclusive aspirations of young people in Brisbane.” (Brisbane City Council, 2023). 

Lord Mayor’s Young Environmental Leaders Network: Addy Clifton and Ava Withers

“The Lord Mayor’s Young Environmental Leaders Network is a unique learning and leadership program that directly engages and supports schools to be cleaner and greener. Through a project-based, active learning model, students are empowered to create positive environmental change in their school and community.” (Brisbane City Council, 2023).

We wish our students good luck for their future workshops!
