Year 10

World Ocean Day

“This Tuesday, myself and 160 other students from Redlands, Barker College, MLC, Newcastle Grammar, Bishop Druitt in Coffs Harbour and Radford College spent our afternoon attending the World Oceans Day event, excitingly hosted by Redlands. We started by mingling and getting to know each other on the rooftop garden then moved to the hall where we listened to speakers, including Zali Steggal passionately speak on the importance of ocean conservation and sustainability, their insights resonated deeply within me. 

Next, we watched the revealing film titled, ‘Rubber Jellyfish’ that was captivating in its truth telling and call to action that I would recommend to everyone. Everyone was reminded of the immense value and fragility of our oceans and felt a renewed sense of responsibility to protect them. It was a powerful reminder that every individual can make a difference through small actions that collectively contribute to the preservation of our marine ecosystems. The talk left me inspired and committed to playing my part in safeguarding our oceans for future generations. Also, we all had a chance to express and voice our opinions and suggest strategies in breakout groups with a mixture of students of different ages from different schools.

It was an excellent event that allowed me to hear about other students’ initiatives and interests in this subject matter and I am inspired and delighted that I was able to be a part of a step towards a sustainable future”.
