CASEY YOUTH SUMMIT 

Late in Term 3, a small group of Year 10 students attended the annual Casey Youth Summit at Bunjil Place.  

Students participated in a day dedicated to collaboration, empowering young voices, and creating meaningful learning experiences.  There were 3 workshops specialising in Leadership, Behaviour Change and AI.  

It was a great day that provided students with the opportunity to meet peers from other schools, engage with the wider community and develop valuable leadership skills. 

The Casey Youth Summit was a great educational and social event. I really enjoyed listening to the guest speakers as they spoke about the things that shaped them into the leaders that they have become as well as participating in workshops that allowed us to not only refine the skills that we already had as leaders, but also learn new skills that we could then take back with us and instil into our own roles in both school and life. It was also a great opportunity to meet student leaders from other schools as it helped us to meet new people as well as to see other students’ leadership styles and share our knowledge.    Phoenix Street, Year 10.
