National Schools Constitutional Convention 2026 - Official Dinner Keynote

I was invited to deliver a keynote at the Official Dinner of the 31st National Schools Constitutional Convention, held at the National Press Club in Canberra. I spoke to 120 students from across every school sector in Australia about what youth voice in democracy actually looks like when you take it seriously. I was invited specifically as the 2025 SA Young Australian of the Year and for my work building SAYF. What made it even more meaningful was that I had been an NSCC delegate myself in 2022. Being back in that room as the keynote speaker, is something I will carry for a long time.
