Guides hear of importance of speaking up
Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch has spoken about the importance of girls speaking up at the awards evening of the Blackwall Girl Guides group.
Ms Tesch said it was great to see that young women and girls have a space on the Peninsula to connect and de-stress after school.
"It is so important that young people have safe spaces where they can make friends and enjoy their afternoons and evenings.
"Teaching young women and girls to use their voice to talk on the issues that they care about is essential.
"It's great to see the excellent role models they have in Girl Guides to pass on that knowledge."
Ms Tesch said the group was always looking to grow its community.
The group was particularly in need of new young leaders to join in the fun-creating opportunities, and providing education and friendships for young women.
