Last Friday 29 May, Ciara Ferguson, Baolan Nguyen, Amara Sivagurunathan, Alexis Zhang, Aditi Knowles, Imogen Sutton, Euna Cho, Ariahna Giann, Kelsey Pham<\/strong> and I had the opportunity to go to Altitude Day. Altitude Day was an amazing leadership day for Year 9 students led by the wonderful Ylead team who travel all around Australia holding youth conferences to encourage young Australians to be passionate and brave.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Attending Altitude Day was such a fulfilling experience, it was so great to be able to make new relationships with people that I would never have known if I hadn’t embraced this opportunity and collaborate closely with other schools like Australian Christian College, Homebush boys, Cranbrook and many others. It was especially great to see our MLC School team get so close and make lifelong friendships with the Ascham girls!<\/p>\n

Other than meeting new people, we had the privilege of meeting two amazing guest speakers, ex-Swans AFL star, Barnaby Howarth and TedX speaker and CEO of We, Future Leaders, Darian Brooker. Their stories were inspiring reflections of how they had gotten through tough times and made it out on top despite the challenges they faced.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We all had so much fun, learning how to make better decisions, speaking out for things we love and are passionate for, being brave and standing tall and advocating as leaders and youth.<\/p>\n

Finally, a big thank you to Ms Renwick<\/strong> for organising for us to go and making sure we had fun!<\/p>\n
