Rotary Leadership Conference 

On Wednesday 9th May, students from Melbourne Girls' College, Eltham High School, Collingwood College, Auburn High School and the newly founded Richmond High congregated in MGC's brand new library for a Rotary-led Leadership Conference. The two incredible speakers, Georgia Retallick (inspirational founder of yHouse charity) and Rotarian Amanda Wendt, captivated the audience, with anecdotes and advice on how best to create change and become a young leader. These wise words were followed by two group activities, encouraging students to develop events and ideas to support a cause they were passionate about. There were some amazing ideas created within this short time frame with a lot of great team work and compromise, which was impressive especially considering everyone had only just met! Overall, it was an inspiring event that encouraged students to network with like minded individuals, as well as demonstrating just how easy it can be to put your passion for a cause into action. Thank you Rotary!
