Keilor resident Olivia Walker is being given the chance to help
shape the state government’s approach to issues such as cyber bullying
and alcohol abuse.
The year 12 Buckley Park College student has been selected to join the government’s youth advisory committee, Involve.
Over the next 15 months Olivia and 18 other people aged 12-25 will identify issues and create strategies to deal with them.
“Bullying, alcohol abuse and cyber-bullying … these are things I see within the community and feel a need to address,” she said.
“I believe these issues are something we should be taking more seriously. This experience is really opening my eyes and has made me aware of how important it is to get involved.”
