District School Leadership Conference

by Julie Bull
April 26-28 in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, NL

This was an amazing event. There were youth from all over Labrador joined together for three days in Happy Valley-Goose Bay. It was an honour for me to be able to join my fellow Labradorians as we learned lots of great things together.


There were presentations, sessions, icebreakers, fun activities, and we even made rockets!

I was asked to do a keynote presentation on the first day of the event. At that, I my story about how I have come to where I am right now.

Vanessa and I shared the session where we sat together and talked to young people in smaller groups about our achievements.

So many of the young people got involved in the discussion about what role models are and who the people are in their lives that they look up to. It was very inspiring when a few youth said that we were their role models. It just really made us feel like we were making a difference around us and that’s a powerful feeling.
