Congratulations to the following students:
Congratulations to Fatema (Year 11) who has been successfully selected to participate in the 2026 Tasmanian Youth Parliament during the upcoming school holidays.
Youth Parliament gives young people a unique opportunity to build their advocacy skills, deepen their understanding of democratic processes, and explore current social, political and economic issues. Throughout the week, participants will take part in educational workshops, speaker panels, policy development exercises, social activities, and debates on bills that the students themselves have drafted and later presented to the Tasmanian Parliament.
