This Program, run by the Y NSW has empowered students from across NSW to raise their voices, advocate for their communities, and connect with peers who share a passion for making a positive difference.
Currently in her final year at Central Coast Grammar School, Scarlett has been selected as a house captain, a title which reflects her leadership within the school community.
Beyond the classroom, Scarlett is a member of the Elite Australian Girls Choir and has recently been appointed NSW Choir Leader for 2026 further demonstrating her strength, dedication and ability to lead at a state level.
Mr Mehan said: “I congratulate Scarlett on this significant achievement and wish her all the very best with this opportunity to showcase her leadership and commitment to making a difference in the NSW Youth Parliament.
“I’m confident Scarlett will be an outstanding voice for young people across The Entrance electorate and the whole Central Coast and look forward to seeing what we can achieve together.”
Scarlett Owens said she is excited, and grateful, for the amazing opportunity to grow her leadership and advocacy skills throughout the next year.
