The Junior Council is a student leadership program for Year 10 and 11 students from local Gold Coast high schools. The program provides an effective platform to consult with young people, to exchange ideas and learn about local government process, and ultimately foster active and engaged young leaders on the Gold Coast.
2021 will mark the 29th year of Junior Council. This year LORDS will be represented by Harrison J and Maya J from Year 10. Harrison and Maya are looking forward to the connection, opportunities, and skills for the future that Junior Council will bring.
Thank you to Miss Travis and Mrs Ayton for their support of our students. We wish them well on their journey with Junior Council.

Following the decision to introduce a new entrepreneur program at Carmel, we set about investigating the best of the best currently available.

Honestly, I didn't know much about entrepreneurship, but I do know about education. Like all the successful teaching implemented here at Carmel, I knew the program needed to be explicit, comprehensive, knowledge-based and experience enhanced.
