Head High

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore) (20:25:53):

During the recent Festival of Mosman, I had the pleasure of attending an afternoon tea hosted by the team at Head High. For those who do not know, Head High is an organisation that allows young adults with disabilities to increase their capacity and confidence via education and professional skill sharing. The afternoon tea was served to us by the wonderful "Head Highers", as they are affectionately known, with delicious scones and tarts, as well as a spot of tea. The "Head Highers", as well as being on service duty, read out poems describing themselves. There were some truly fantastic and funny poems read out to all the friends, families and locals at the afternoon tea. I acknowledge the incredible work of the founder and owner of Head High, Julie Ross-Edwards, as well as the team from Cafe Montmartre for hosting at the last minute. I also thank some of our incredible "Head Highers" for their service work. Jess, Lucy, Adam, Dan, Shida and Liam all did such an amazing job. I look forward to joining them all and experiencing the wonderful work they do in my community to give young people the confidence and opportunity to achieve their goals.
