Junior Council

During Week 5, Year 10 students, Tully and Jada, represented King’s at our third meeting for the Gold Coast Junior City Council. This meeting focused on creating change for Gold Coast youth, particularly the growing number of young people experiencing homelessness.

The day began with a powerful documentary that highlighted the daily challenges faced by some local students, living in shelters or public spaces, yet still making their way to school each day. What made the day even more impactful was the generosity of Junior Council members from schools across the Coast, who brought along donations of essential goods for the local youth shelter. The Gold Coast Council work vehicles were overflowing with supplies, making multiple trips to deliver everything collected.

Not only was the scale of the donations inspiring, but it was also heartening to see Tully step up and get involved- without any direction – one of the few students working along alongside Council workers to load the work vehicles. It was a proud reminder of the leadership and initiative shown by our students.

With one Council meeting left for the year, we look forward to seeing how Tully and Jada will continue to represent King’s with passion, service, and commitment to making a difference in their community.
