A group of six enthusiastic Year 9 students from Home Hill State High School recently represented their school with pride at the Y Lead Altitude Day Young Leaders’ Symposium in Townsville, taking part in a fantastic day dedicated to growth, inspiration and leadership.
Held on the 23rd of May at Brothers Leagues Club, the event brought together students from across North Queensland, including representatives from The Cathedral School, Pimlico, Town High, Kirwan, and Bowen to help shape the next generation of leaders.
The students were accompanied by Mr Gall and Mrs Falco, who were proud to see their students immerse themselves in the full-day program of activities, motivational speakers and leadership exercises.
The event, themed “Reaching New Heights,” encouraged students to step out of their comfort zones, network with like-minded peers, and reflect on their own values and leadership potential.
The aim of Altitude Day, according to organisers, is to help young people find their passion, gain courage, and “action plan their biggest dreams.”
“Today, we get to celebrate and cultivate your students’ leadership development as they embark on a journey to step into courage, action plan their biggest dreams and discover their untapped potential,” said Y Lead’s Zoe Meridith-Brown.
The day made a lasting impression on students Medea Burr, Angelina Curro, Alex Kirkwood, Ashlyn Poli, Lachlan Saxby and Cooper Webster, all of whom embraced the spirit of the event by actively participating and even addressing the crowd.
Adding to the experience was a reunion with Sharni Smerdon, a past student leader and graduate of the Y Lead program, who now volunteers with the organisation and played a role in facilitating the event.
The Altitude Day symposium continues to be a valuable opportunity for local youth to develop leadership skills and confidence in a supportive, forward-thinking environment.
