During Term 2, our students were given the opportunity of entering in the Parliament Prize competition. They were to submit a 90-second video statement that they would make to Parliament if they were an MP. They discussed the issues they cared about that is affecting the community. This competition was judged by the members of parliament.
Grace, Isla, Heidi, Elijah and Piper from Year 5 created their own submissions and did such a fantastic job. The issues they addressed were Black Lives Matter, Climate Change and Pollution.
There were 700 submissions from all around Victoria and although these students were not in the final three, Grace was a finalist she was in the top six, they should all feel very proud of the amazing speeches they presented.
It is incredible to see our senior school students participating in such a wonderful competition that showcases student voice and leadership amongst the school community.
