 Belinda WILSON (Narre Warren North) (10:36): I recently visited Juniper College in my electorate, a specialist alternative secondary college for students who have not thrived in mainstream that offers flexible and supportive education with a strong focus on wellbeing and individual support. I had the absolute privilege of presenting my respect and integrity award to the amazing Jackson. Despite having to move homes and schools, he has shown incredible resilience and determination. Throughout his challenges, Jackson has always remained respectful and polite to all the staff and his peers, and he is always an active participant in class discussions. He is a valued member of the school community, and it was an absolute great celebration of his success. A huge congratulations to Jackson. I cannot wait to watch you thrive.
