Students take over the Department of Education

Two Year 11 students recently had the opportunity to witness the daily operations of the Department of Education and Communities in a unique program, Secretary for a Day.

On the first day, Lily (pictured left) shadowed Sharon Ford, the Director for Secondary Education (centre) at the Oxford Street State Office, attending multiple meetings across a broad range of upcoming projects and issues and learned about Ms Ford's passion for improving the education system to meet 21st century challenges.

The following day the students were led through a leadership course at Bridge Street State Office, culminating in a brainstorming session where they shared ideas on how to organise a Young Speakers Day, where students would be able to speak on matters important to them.
