Inspiring Australians Student Summit - Riverbanks College

Over 400 students heard from Sam Bloom, World Para Surfing champion and author, His Excellency Dr Richard Harris SC OAM, Governor's Deputy and Thai cave rescue diver, and me as the 2025 SA Young Australian of the Year. Together we shared lessons on resilience, trust, teamwork, and the power of youth voice. I spoke to students about using their voices for change and what genuine community leadership looks like at any age.
