Youth Parliament Applications - Years 11/12
Youth Parliament is a program that allows WAs young people to have their say in Parliament.
Youth Parliament is an exciting and energising program that provides young people with the opportunity to engage in civics and citizenship
education in a practical way like no other. Young people who are involved in the program take on the role of a local Member of Parliament
for a week and engage in various education and preparation programs.
In 2010, the WA YMCA Youth Parliament became an endorsed program with the School Curriculum and Standards Authority Western Australia. Year
11 and 12 students can register their participation in Youth Parliament, and on completion will be awarded 5 points towards their WACE.
It would be greatly appreciated if your school could take the time to inform your students about the Youth Parliament program, through
whatever channels you see fit. We are seeking a range of young people to participate in the program – anyone with an interest in youth
issues is encouraged to apply, regardless of their knowledge of politics, ethnicity, speaking skills, or any other factor. Applications will
be accepted until 10th March, 2019.
