Last week we delivered the inaugural Bayside Youth Summit at Beaumaris Secondary College, in partnership with Beaumaris Secondary College and facilitated by Youth Leadership Academy Australia (YLAA).

Over 120 young people from Years 7–12 across six schools came together to build leadership skills, connect with others and share ideas for positive change💡

Young people played a key role throughout the day, leading conversations, working in teams and creating a space where everyone felt heard and empowered.

Bayside Mayor Cr Debbie Taylor-Haynes opened the summit, reinforcing Council’s commitment to valuing young people’s voices and working alongside them.

A big thank you to everyone who supported the summit, including Beaumaris Secondary College, YLAA, participating schools, young people, Peer Leaders and Bayside City Council staff 🙌

✨ Stay tuned for the ideas and more youth-led initiatives coming soon.
