Brauer praised in parliament
BRAUER College students earned a shout out in Parliament this week after making a strong impression on Western Victoria MP Jacinta Ermacora.
Ms Ermacora acknowledged the school in a member statement in Parliament this week after recently visiting with students.
“I recently had the pleasure of visiting one of our outstanding government schools in the south-west, Brauer College, where I met with student leaders,” she said.
“Spending time with an emerging new generation of leaders was informative and made me feel heartened about the future.
“I was fascinated and found it commendable that school leaders now hold their own specialist portfolios and students are able to access school leaders according to their needs.”
Ms Ermacora met with Brauer College students including school captain Molly Carey, student wellbeing captain Lilian Smith, social justice captain Isabella Condon, environment captain Mia King, sports activities captain Teah Couch, art and culture captain Charlee Sutcliffe, who is the art and culture captain.
“It was great to take a walk with them and check out the newly refurbished running track at Brauerander Park and to ask them about their future plans,” she said.
“I have to admit I am pretty pleased to see that nine out of those student leaders were young women.
“I chose pyjama day to visit, which was a lot of fun and certainly changed the atmosphere, and I was very pleased to see the leaders were in uniform to meet with me.”
