The VET faculty are proud to share the outstanding achievements of our Year 11 student, Olivia Marchant, who recently completed a work placement as part of her Certificate III in Business at NSW State Parliament.
Olivia had the incredible opportunity to work alongside Member for Coffs Harbour, MP Gurmesh Singh, where she contributed meaningfully to a range of parliamentary activities. Most notably, she assisted MP Singh in preparing key points for a speech advocating for improved rural healthcare—a topic close to the hearts of many in our community.
During her placement, Olivia also observed the legislative process firsthand, sitting on the backbenches through multiple parliamentary sittings, and gained invaluable insights into the workings of government. She supported parliamentary staffers, attended policy meetings focused on local issues, and showcased maturity and professionalism beyond her years.
Further cementing her commitment to public service, Olivia has recently joined the Young Nationals Committee, a significant step in her journey toward making a positive impact in regional and rural communities. We congratulate Olivia on her impressive accomplishments and look forward to seeing where her passion for politics and business takes her next!
