Windeward Bound student Cameron is up to the challenge

Clarence High School student Cameron Browning is raising funds so she and a “new” Tasmanian resident can spend 10 days taking part in the Windeward Bound Trust’s Youth Leadership Challenge.

Cameron is a year 10 student at Clarence High School and is a prefect, peer supporter and community leader within the school.

She is taking part in the Windeward Bound Trust’s Youth Leadership Challenge, which sees 10 local Tasmanians voyage along the coast with 10 “new” Tasmanians, who are migrants or refugees.

“I am raising $2,995 to pay for my own participation in the voyage, and for one of the ‘new’ Tasmanians,” Cameron said.

“This year as a peer supporter and prefect at school, I felt really privileged to be able to support other people coming into our school community, and that is part of why I am so interested in this voyage as I can help new Tasmanians find their place in Tasmania.

“Working in a team in a hands-on environment is something I really want to get more experience in and I am excited to learn more practical skills through the voyage.”

This is the first major experience Cameron has had with sailing and she is excited to get more skills and spend time on the water with new people.
