Congratulations, Noah and Chelsea!
The Club Final for the Lions Youth of the Year competition for 2019 was held at the Tewantin RSL on Tuesday 19th February. The College was represented by Noah Benjamin and Chelsea Meadows, our College Captains. For this competition, each student attended an interview with a panel of three judges from the community in which they spoke about their interests, general knowledge and aspirations for the future. The night of the final involved a prepared 5-minute speech, and two impromptu 2-minute speeches on topics of the judges’ choice.
Noah spoke about the importance of sport in Australian society and proposed an idea to subsidise sport fees through luxury taxes on things like cigarettes and junk food. Chelsea spoke about the power of a growth mindset and how this type of thinking could help adolescents achieve their goals in life. Both students did incredibly well, as did the two student representatives from St Teresa’s College. Chelsea won the overall Club Final and will go on to represent the College and our region at the zone finals in Mudjimba on the 2nd of March.
Well done to Noah and Chelsea and thank you for your fantastic representation of the College.
Mr Matt Armstrong
Head of Senior Years Studies
