Last week nearly 80 students from Proserpine State High School, Bowen State High School, Whitsunday Christian College and St Catherine’s College came together for the annual ‘b kinder Summit, a gathering designed to empower young leaders across the region.

The b kinder Summit was created to empower young leaders, and inspire them to spark thought, ignite passion, and encourage meaningful action within their schools and wider communities.

Throughout the day, students were invited to reflect on the values of empathy, compassion, resilience and confidence, and how these qualities can be actively applied in everyday life.

‍

The summit challenged students to consider the real impact of kindness as a leadership tool. Participants left feeling not only inspired, but also equipped with practical ideas and a renewed purpose to foster positive change within their school environments.

A key focus of the program was the role young people can play in shaping inclusive, supportive communities. By encouraging students to lead with empathy and courage, the Summit reinforced the idea that leadership is not defined by position, but by action and influence.

The event featured presenter Adam Mostogl from Illuminate Education, alongside b kinder ambassador Tessa Jolley, who both delivered engaging and thought-provoking sessions that resonated strongly with attendees.

We thank the b kinder Foundation for organising such an impactful opportunity for local students, and for continuing to invest in the development of compassionate, capable young leaders across the region.
