Gayle TIERNEY (Western Victoria) (19:10): (2601) My adjournment matter this evening is for the Minister for Education. Victoria’s schools are more than just places where young people get a great education; they are places where they build confidence and respect, and of course that leads to inclusive communities. I am proud that Geelong is leading the way in empowering teenage girls to speak up and influence decisions that affect them. The Deputy Premier and Minister for Education, the Labor candidate for South Barwon Rebecca Thistleton and I visited the Oberon High School recently. We met with students participating in the Be Bold Be Heard initiative and heard about the impact that Be Bold Be Heard has had on them and their schools. We heard from students Hope, Kobi, Evie and Ruby about the Be Bold Be Heard program and what it has meant to them. They spoke with honesty, courage and maturity about leadership, respect, inclusion and creating positive change in their local school community. It was also wonderful to hear from a former participant, Annabelle, about how the program has helped her build her confidence and has given her the tools to create change. I am really optimistic that through initiatives like Be Bold Be Heard younger people will teach others how to be respectful while advocating for change. The action I am seeking from the minister is an update on the rollout of the Be Bold Be Heard program across western Victoria and beyond.
