Ryde Secondary School Leaders High Tea

On 21 March a few colleagues remarked to me today that the leadership in Parliament of NSW seemed to have improved

   

Perhaps it was because the leadership of Ryde’s local high schools were in town for a broad ranging discussion and exchange of ideas over high tea

    

A huge thanks to Marsden High School Official, Epping Boys High School, Marist College Eastwood, Ryde Secondary College and Holy Cross College, Ryde for sharing your insights and so successfully representing your schools and peers

   

I hope through more opportunities like this our political institutions can better stand up for and represent local young people - the change-makers of the future, and present

On Friday 21 March four Year 11 Councillors including myself, attended an event at the Parliament House in the city. We met Ryde MP Jordan Lane who was talking about how we and other Councillors representing other schools can change the future for the better and he wanted to get to know if we were interested in the politics region. We learnt the interesting history on the Parliament House and how it used to be a rum hospital. Overall it was an interesting experience that i shared with the other Councillors from our College and the other schools.

On Friday 21 March, myself and three other Year 11’s represented Holy Cross College at a Ryde High Tea event at the New South Wales Parliament House in the City. Holy Cross College was one of five schools that attended the event along with Marist Eastwood, Marsden High, Ryde Secondary College, and Epping Boys High. The event was run by Ryde MP Jordan Lane and he was talking about how, as future leaders, we can make a positive impact and stand as a voice for others. Along the way, we also made friends from other schools.

Noah Roumanos - 11 Gallagher

Last Friday, myself and three of my peers set out to NSW Parliament House. We were invited to a High Tea regarding the future leaders of all the schools in the Ryde area. We met with Ryde MP Jordan Lane, who was keen on getting insights into what our views were on society, what we would like to change or begin inovating if we were in charge. These discussions sparked friendships between our schools and produced healthy and positive conversations. We were given a tour of the Parliament building as well as plenty of history and fun facts about Australian Parliament by Jordan Lane himself. I was lucky enough to be able to have a private conversation with Jordan to gain insights into what he has planned for the future and how invested he is to get the younger generations input into his work. It was a truly splendid day and a lot was learnt.

James Tourle - 11 Fogarty

Last Friday, myself and a small group of Year 11’s were selected to represent Holy Cross College at NSW Parliament House. This event was run by Jordan Lane, the MP for the Ryde area. Alongside Holy Cross College there were few more schools from the Ryde, Gladesville area, these being Marist Eastwood, Marsden High, Ryde Secondary College, and Epping Boys High. At this event we were discussing how the student leaders of current schools can create a lasting impact on the school and their local community. Following the High Tea, Mr Lane took all the schools on a tour of Parliament House.
