It was a very productive Forum with  table facilitators from many government departments being actively involved

We had comments back from the students e.g.  “Made me feel more free to talk *****Need more stuff like this thby would join the community!!”, “Didn’t expect this to be this fun”, “Very good, I feel heard” plus others (see below) that showed it to be a very worthwhile event – they wanted to be heard!

All feedback provided from the participants will be collated and a summary report provided to all participating schools. The summary will be circulated to relevant ACT Government Directorates, where applicable.  The Tuggeranong Community Council will also incorporate overarching themes into submissions provided to the ACT Government and advocate on behalf of young people within the region.
