SZONJA DOBRAS

Hi! I’m Szonja and I am a year 10 student at Marsden State High School in Queensland, and a former student of Port Hacking High School in the Metro South and West Directorate. Aside from school, I love competing in rhythmic gymnastics, taking photos to really capture the important moments and cheesecakes, I love cheesecakes. While I have only been on DOVES for a year, it has been the greatest opportunity for me to do what I’m most passionate about; standing up for what is right and advocating for those who can't for themselves. Every student deserves the best possible education and not only that but the best possible wellbeing, to feel supported and included by their schooling community. Meeting and working with my fellow council members has allowed me to be a part of this incredible movement of empowering students' voices, while also developing lifelong friendships. I know this council has a bright future and can truly change the education system for the better. I feel so so incredibly proud to say that I could contribute to that, it truly has been the best opportunity.
