Northern Adelaide Plains Youth Leaders Seminar

On Wednesday 14 August, Sarah Cowburn (Year 12), Daniel Hlinak and Logan Phillips (Year 11) joined other students from the northern suburbs of Adelaide to participate in a leadership seminar presented by Mr Tony Piccolo MP Member for Light at Parliament House. 

Three guest speakers addressed the group; Dr Rodrigo Praino, Professor of Politics and Public Policy, spoke about democracy and its inner-workings, local lawyer Natasha Jones discussed how to solve and deal with difficult problems and, political process advocate Lauren Conceicao spoke about how to make a difference within the political process.

The seminar builds on the leadership programs schools have developed and introduces real-world experiences from political issues to showcase different avenues students can take to solve problems.

The students were able to engaged with the speakers, learn new skills and gather ideas for future pathways.
