🏛️✨ A DAY OF LEADERSHIP AT PARLIAMENT HOUSE ✨🏛️ What does leadership look like beyond the school gates? For Emmaus Catholic College Kemps Creek Captains Chelsy and Chase, it meant an unforgettable day at NSW Parliament Day, joining student leaders from across the state to explore the impact young people can have on the future. From meeting Members of Parliament and hearing from The Honourable Greg Piper MP, to touring Government House and sharing afternoon tea with The Honourable Andrew Bell AC, Lieutenant-Governor of New South Wales, the day was filled with inspiring conversations about leadership, service and making a difference. An incredible opportunity to represent the Emmaus community and grow as the next generation of leaders! 👏💙 @emmauscspd #cspd2026 #catholicschoolsparramattadiocese #parracatholic #westernsydney #nswparliamentday
