Olympic Changemaker Forum
Bianca Infante (of year 11) recently attended the Olympic Changemaker Forum at Sydney Olympic Park. This event is hosted by the Australian Olympic Committee and provides a wonderful opportunity to celebrate all young leaders nominated for the 2022 Change-Maker award.
The Forum featured guest Olympians who led an insightful discussion about leadership, being a positive force and overcoming challenges in creating change. This was also an exclusive opportunity for students to hear from Olympians about their experiences as an athlete competing at the Olympic Games. Congratulations Bianca on this wonderful experience!
