We are thrilled to highlight the recent accomplishments of two of our students, Ryan and Jeff, who represented our College at prestigious events. Their talent, enthusiasm, and passion for their chosen topics have not only earned them global recognition but have also made us incredibly proud of the way they've used their voices to inspire others.
Both Ryan and Jeff were selected to speak at a TedX Youth event, a platform known for its inspirational talks and global reach. Their presentations, shared widely at a global level, showcased their passion and depth of knowledge, and captivated audiences with their insightful views and articulate delivery.
Ryan provided a powerful and thought provoking speech on the topic of mental health amongst young black males.

Jeff focused on educating us all on how a little bit of creativity in life can breed happiness.

These outstanding performances at the TedX Youth event led to another exciting opportunity—opening the National Voice 21 Summit, an annual gathering dedicated to promoting oracy and communication in education. The summit organisers were impressed with the confidence and clarity our students brought to their roles as opening speakers, emphasizing how well they represented our college.
Beyond their impressive public speaking skills, we are most proud of how Ryan and Jeff have used these platforms to share their passion and ideas. Their ability to convey important messages with authenticity and empathy has touched the hearts of many. These young leaders are a credit to our college, not just because of their achievements, but because of their commitment to making a positive impact.
We invite all parents/carers, students, and colleagues to join us in celebrating Ryan and Jeff. Their journey serves as an inspiration for our entire College community, demonstrating that with hard work and dedication, we can make our voices heard on a global stage.
Congratulations to Ryan and Jeff! We look forward to seeing where their talents and passions will take them next, starting with Ryan being invited by one of the schools at the Voice 21 summit to go and speak to their staff and students in July! Their success is a reflection of the supportive environment fostered by our College and the boundless potential of our students.
