Natasha Taleski
Evan MULHOLLAND (Northern Metropolitan) (14:01): It was a real privilege to present my first Northern Leadership Award for Social Justice to Natasha Taleski, a year 11 student at St Monica’s College in Epping, at a full school assembly last week. The three overarching qualities for recipients of the award are a strong commitment to social justice, demonstrated leadership qualities and active community involvement, all qualities that I strive to display in my role as a member for Northern Metropolitan Region. Natasha is an outstanding student. She developed Be More Radio, St Monica’s first podcast, centred solely on social justice and world issues and explores them through a student lens. It was a great honour to honour Natasha with this award in front of over a thousand students, staff and parents. Thanks to St Monica’s principal Brian Hanley for this opportunity.
