Empowering Young Leaders at Overnewton’s 2026 Student Leadership Summit
On Friday, Overnewton proudly hosted our third annual Student Leadership Summit, welcoming 75 student leaders from schools across Melbourne’s north-west for our largest Summit to date.
The day was filled with energy, collaboration and meaningful conversation, as students explored self-leadership, service leadership and student-led initiatives through workshops facilitated by Youth Leadership Academy Australia.
A highlight of the Summit was the keynote address from Federal Member for Gorton, Alice Jordan-Baird, who reminded students of the power of their voice.
Our Year 12 Student Executive played a key role in hosting and supporting the event, reinforcing Overnewton’s commitment to student voice and authentic leadership experiences.
We extend our sincere thanks to Eureka Catering for generously providing food and service on the day, and to the Australian Council for Student Voice and Edstart for their valued support in making the Summit such a success.
We are proud to provide opportunities that empower young people to lead with confidence, integrity and a strong sense of community.
We acknowledge and pay respect to the Marin Balluk people of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which Overnewton Anglican Community College stands. We respect the knowledge that will be forever embedded within the Aboriginal Custodianship of Country and remember the loss of cultures, languages and Lands they have endured. Like the Marin Balluk people, we at Overnewton want to respect the Land, the cultures and the heritages, and learn from those who have come before us in the passing on of knowledge and the teaching of life skills, as well as continue with wise stewardship of our buildings and grounds. We honour their custodianship of this Land and offer them our deep respect.
