NED GRAHAM

I am currently a Year 12 student at Sydney Secondary College Blackwattle Bay Campus and in 2021 I was fortunate enough to serve as Vice-Chair of the NSW Education Minister's Student Council (DOVES). While my time as a member of DOVES has come to an end, I am determined to continue fighting for public education as a member of the NSW Education Minister's Year 12 Advisory Committee and beyond. Public policy is the best mechanism we have to effect real, positive, society-wide change. Although, integral to policy’s effectiveness is the representation of those it directly impacts in the policy-making process. For this reason, I am proud to have served as an inaugural member of the DOVES Council, standing up for the right of students to have their voices heard – a cause I am committed to fighting for long into the future.
