2024 Community Spirit and Leadership Awards 2024
A note from Julian Hill MP
As the Federal Member for Bruce, I decided to initiate these annual awards to see a student from every school the Bruce electorate recognised for their commputy spirit, service and leadership.
Young people demonstrating community leadership both inside and outside the school community is so important. It leads to stronger and more cohesive communities. The awards recognise these important contributions and encourage more young people to get involved.
Recipients should be proud of their achievements, which have been recognised by their schools through this award nomination.
It's wonderful to see students being acknowledged for such diverse contributions, ranging from making school life more enriching through student leadership to volunteer work that improves the lives of disadvantaged people, both locally and globally.
Congratulations to all recipients.
