On the Sunday 9 March, Mrs Pirovich and Mr Baltovich took the Year 11 and 12 student leaders to Perth for the Halogen Leadership Conference at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre. After arriving at the Perth Central Caravan Park, students enjoyed some socialising before an early bedtime.

The conference was hosted by former speaker and Cotton On Foundation’s Jade Slater and featured inspiring talks from Olympic champion Eamon Sullivan, West Coast Eagles AFLW star Dana Hooker, renowned public speaker John Coutis and the youngest man to circumnavigate the globe, Lachie Smart. The conference also gave the Merredin College students the opportunity to collaborate with young leaders from all around the state to come up with ideas to make their school a better place for the youth of today and tomorrow. The excursion would not have been possible without the help of the Collgar Wind Farm, and we are deeply appreciative of their ongoing support.
