An interesting question, one which Payton Ivancic of Year 12 answered with courage and thoughtfulness. Her answer formed part of the Lions Youth of the Year Quest at Wests Leagues Club on the evening of 7 November. Along with students from local schools, Payton articulated her visions through the prepared and impromptu questions. Sustainability, healthy school canteens, heroes who inspire us with their humility and empathy, and a food industry based on conscience not profit were just a few pieces of the food for thought Payton offered us. Speech night, along with the interview component on Sunday, gives voice to the very sound visions and ideas of the fine local youth we are proud and blessed to have in our community. Payton was an outstanding representative of the College and is a credit to herself, her family and her school. Congratulations Payton, we are all very proud of you!

Thank you to the Lions Club Campbelltown for giving Payton the opportunity to shine in this worthy competition.
