Building on the foundations of Masterclass One, Future Entrepreneurial Leaders, the second workshop in the Mayor’s Telstra Innovation Masterclass Series turns the focus toward practical influence. Future Leaders: IMPACT is designed to help students understand how their decisions, behaviours and ideas create momentum in teams, communities and emerging ventures. Using the VESPA framework as the backbone, students will deepen their skills in purposeful action, problem framing and communication, guided by real-world insights that translate directly into future study and career pathways.
Led by Lachie Smart, with opening remarks from Mayor Natoli, this session gives Year 8 to 10 students a structured space to test their thinking, strengthen their confidence and apply leadership principles to challenges that matter to them. It is a focused, practical day intended to shift students from learning about leadership to actively shaping the impact they want to make.
As this event is limited to 150 students, we encourage all interested students to apply below. Our panel will carefully select participants based on their enthusiasm, commitment, and genuine interest in this opportunity.
