Fogarty Futures Leadership Conference empowers Year 10 and 11 students with leadership skills for the future. Students to develop a passion for social justice and benefit their local communities. Soft skills such as leadership, communication and interpersonal skills are not taught in schools, despite being vital to living in a modern globalised world; Futures aims to fix this gap.
