A Message from the Governor-General Her Excellency Ms Quentin Bryce AC I am delighted to welcome you to The National Young Leaders Days. What a splendid concept, to bring together so many of our student leaders to share experiences with each other, and with leaders from across the community. You are meeting under a most apt symbol. The Foundation's choice of a modern halogen light in which the filament is both protected and provided with the conditions to burn hotter, longer and brighter, is a great image of the need to protect and nourish leadership....

For years, we have often said, "Wouldn't it be great if you could remove the cost barrier and allow every school to attend our event." Until now, that concept has been impossible.  Enabled in part by some great corporate sponsors, this initiative represents Halogen's most significant investment in Australian Schools. All existing bookings have been credited with 2 of their ordered tickets free of charge.  If you have not already made a booking, we suggest you do so immediately.  Full details are in the 2010 brochure, arriving in schools this month.
