Through programs such as The House, CGGS students are encouraged to take a seat at the table.
Recently Reshmi (Y11), Lucy, Aimee and Arya (Y12) attended the national launch of the 'Make It 16' campaign at Parliament House, which aims to give young people a voice by lowering the voting age to 16. The students met a wide range of politicians, including Andrew Wilkie, David Pocick, Monique Ryan and Penny Allman-Payne, as well as professionals working in Youth Advocacy and National Youth Coalitions.
The girls were recognised at the launch as being informed, articulate ambassadors for their generation. CGGS programs such as The House are tailored co-curricular activities, designed to empower our students to be inquisitive, critical thinkers—skills required to become future leaders.
