Julie:
Along with Centrelink, the local job network and the Rural metal health, I was asked to go to Nyngan school to talk to senior students. They were particularly interested in changes happening to youth allowance, which will have a major impact on country students, mostly negative, how to manage stress and how to deal with change (which was the part that I did). I found it very informative and insightful to spend time with these students who are moving into the next phase of their life and also great to see their enthusiasm and passion to deal with the changes they are facing. It is easy to assume that kids in the bush are not nearly as articulate or competant as their city counterparts but in this case it was definitely not true.
