 Daniela DE MARTINO (Monbulk) (15:29): Last week I met with Upwey High School’s year 10 students Jack, Abby, Marli, Olivia and Eleanor, teacher Ms Liz Lynch and principal Rachel Lynch to learn about their bushfire education program, which they have been part of since year 7, developing real-world bushfire awareness and preparedness. These inspiring young people have been covered by the ABC and local press, showcasing how they are developing practical, life-saving knowledge and skills and spreading the word to their peers, families and friends. Congratulations.
