On Monday 19th May, Year 7 were invited to watch a Brainstorm Production, which was funded by Gymea Community Aid as part of the Empowering Youth to Inspire Change program.
Brainstorm is a theatre in education program which explores the complex dynamics within a group of high school students. In a landscape of generative AI, social media algorithms, misinformation and bullying, they are forced to question what they see, what they hear and how they treat each other. They must take control of the narrative to create a healthier and more hopeful future.
The Year 10 Youth Ambassadors joined year 7 and guided their discussions of what they learned after watching the performance. The Year 7 students were able to articulate the important messages of the performance, with an awareness of the issues facing young people around bullying and online activity.
