Congratulations Gemma on winning the Young Leader of the Year Award!

Congratulations to Gemma Hinch (Year 7) for receiving the Richard Marles MP Geelong Young Leader of the Year award!
Gemma is one of the student leaders of the Student Action Committee. She is passionate about the environment and this has driven her PYPEX inquiry and action for ocean pollution.
She wrote a letter to our local MP – Richard Marles – and was thrilled to receive this reply:
“Thank you very much for taking the time to write to Richard Marles regarding your work on ‘Microplastic Free’ for your PYP exhibition.
Richard has asked that I follow up with you and firstly pass on his thanks. You have raised some important issues for his consideration. With your permission, Richard would like to send your letter to Labor’s Shadow Minster for Environment and Water, Terri Butler for her consideration. Labor works hard to develop policies that protect the environment and this is one that Terri could consider. Please let me know if you are happy for us to send it on.”
The recipient of this award is a student who has shown leadership amongst their peers by demonstrating courage, kindness and humility.
Gemma has been a leader in every sense of the word. Throughout the year Gemma has been an exemplary role model and has shown leadership characteristics and strengths in all facets of school life. Congratulations again Gemma!
