Small school students ready to make an impact

SIXTY-one students from Brunswick Valley Small Schools were among the emerging generation of leaders at The National Young Leaders Day at Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre on Monday, 14 March.

The event, which attracted 3,500 upper primary students along with their teachers, principals, and occasionally school managers, is hosted by the Halogen Foundation; a not-for-profit organisation whose mission is to inspire and empower young people to be active leaders in their schools and the wider community.
