A huge congratulations to Bowen’s own Jacob Ross, a Year 10 student at Bowen State High School, who has been selected as a delegate for the Ministerial Student Advisory Council. Jacob attended the first meeting in Brisbane on the 28th of March, where he joined 17 other young leaders from across Queensland to discuss important issues affecting students.
The Ministerial Student Advisory Council is an invaluable platform for the Minister for Education to hear the voices of students from all corners of the state. As a North Queensland representative, Jacob is in a unique position to bring the concerns and ideas of local students to the forefront. This achievement is a significant honour, not only for Jacob but for Bowen State High School as well.
Jacob, who is passionate about his school studies, instrumental music, and hockey, has expressed a deep commitment to promoting safe and supportive environments in schools.
“I am passionate about safe schools that promote the growth of healthy minds and bodies," he says, "I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with like-minded students to help shape the future of education in Queensland schools."
Minister for Education and the Arts, John-Paul Langbroek MP, highlighted the council’s focus on key issues such as bullying, mental health, and the future of virtual learning.
Jacob’s participation in this important initiative will allow him to contribute to discussions on issues like these and many more, ensuring that the voices of young Queenslanders are heard.
This is an exciting opportunity for Jacob to make a difference and to bring a North Queensland perspective to the broader conversation about education in Queensland and we wish him all the best in this rewarding endeavour and two year council position.
