On Wednesday August 24 Year 9 students had the opportunity to participate in the Year 9 Forum. The Forum began with an inspirational talk by Ms Athaide who has recently returned from World Youth Day and participating in the Emerging Leaders Program. Ms Athaide was able to detail her experience traveling away from home with thousands of other pilgrims and also spoke about some of the challenges and how she was able to overcome these. Overcoming challenges or building a bridge was the theme of our Forum and students were able talk this into their challenges for the day. The first challenge was to see a need and to do something about it. The year 9s were challenged to see a need in their world and come up with a proposal to present to the judging panel about how they can make a difference. Students needed to present their idea, costings and timeline as part of their plan. Working in small groups there was much discussion, researching and planning taking place which was lovely to watch.
