Year 10 students represented Damascus College at the FUEL Youth Summit, joining peers from across Ballarat for a day focused on collaboration, challenge and personal growth.
Working alongside students from other schools, they engaged in a range of activities that required initiative, problem solving and the ability to contribute ideas in new and unfamiliar settings. The experience provided an opportunity to build connections beyond the College and to develop a broader understanding of their role within the community.
Students approached the day with maturity and openness, demonstrating a willingness to participate and engage with others in a meaningful way.
The opportunity was supported by staff, whose guidance and encouragement enabled students to take part and make the most of the experience.
Experiences such as this continue to support students in developing confidence, strengthening their voice and contributing positively to the world around them.
