 Jordan CRUGNALE (Bass) (10:25): Stars shine bright across Bass when it comes to young people being positive change makers and showcasing their brilliance. Clyde Primary’s Georgia, Avii and Reyansh wrote to me, having done some incredible investigative work and research which caused a positive stir at both the minister’s office and the Department of Education. As a result of their formidable detective skills, we were made aware that our flag protocols need to be updated on the website to actually reflect the directive all government schools were given, which was to include the Torres Strait Islander flag as the third official flag. I met with them and all the school leaders, and I loved hearing what sparked this research interest and how they all worked together. Inquisitive, proactive, leading by example – you are absolute assets to your school and community.
