National Youth Week was a great succes again in 2012!

Bayside City Council’s Youth Services involved young people in the week of 13 to 22 April with the theme “Imagine. Create. Inspire.” There were fantastic events, activities and competitions. All three events celebrated the achievements, talents and abilities of local young people created positive partnerships with many local schools, agencies and community groups. All events were developed, organised and run by local young people who have came together to help recognise, award and celebrate the young people of Bayside.
