Before The Investigator Lecture, Flinders  celebrated the winners of its inaugural Fearless Conversations From Our Next Generation competition. The three winning students joined Interim Executive Director, Communications, Marketing and Engagement Sarah Walsh on stage to discuss a range of important topics.

The winning students had submitted videos about their fearless ideas about how to create a better future for all Australians.

The students – Melina Gaffey and Lucy Scinto of Marryatville High School and Chloe McPherson of Investigator College – spoke to topics they are passionate about, including mental health, sex education in schools and raising the age of criminal responsibility.
