Yes, it is true, Blake Bardowski has been nominated for the Chifley Youth Competition prize.The presentation of prizes and certificates of participation, will be made next week by the Hon. Peter Garrett (Minister for School Education, Early Childhood and Youth).
All judges will make their decision and announce the 1st and 2nd prize winners and all entrants, their parents and school Principals have also been invited.
This initiative by our Hon. Ed Husic ( Chifley Federal Member) is something that I am proud he has commenced as we in Mount Druitt, have mostly had negative reports of youth and crime around our communities. This can turn around the youth off the streets and get then motivated to do something important for their lives. Something they are proud to do for themselves or even passionately for the community. I commend our Federal member to take this on - I just hope he gets good publicity and ensures this is carried on as annual event, thus promoting this Competition as an important competition for all youths.
I hope he may expand this if there is increased interest in years to come from the young nominees.
For Blake, you have read story after story of him from our current blog and also our S.O.B.S. ( link is on our home page). He is on the forefront of great ideas on bus route improvements. He is promoting his bus system that will improve all bus network leading to and from Mount Druitt. I wish him all the best in wining the 1st prize for Chifley Youth Competition 2011.

Chifley Youth Competition now calling for entries
Young people in the Chifley electorate have the opportunity to have their say on issues that matter to them, their peers and community.
The Chifley Youth Competition is open to all students who received an award for community spirit or leadership from their school in 2010.
New Federal Member for Chifley, Ed Husic has established a new competition designed to give young people a chance to tell him about their priorities and major issues.
“I really appreciate the views and opinions of our future community leaders: the young people of Chifley”
“Young leaders in the community are already achieving great things especially in their local area.
“Having visited local schools and seeing the great achievements of these individuals I have established the Chifley Youth Award to further encourage students to continue to take leadership on issues they are passionate about.
“Entrants are to provide a statement of ideas on an issue in their area or a topic they are most passionate about and what they think can be done about it on a local level.
I’m also delighted that we have a panel of distinguished judges to help assess the entries” Mr Husic said.
The entries will be judged by a panel of leaders of the community including Mr Eric Sidoti, Director, Whitlam Institute (UWS), Natalie Chiappazzo, Manager of Blacktown Youth Services Association (BYSA) and Richard Errington, CEO Rooty Hill RSL.
The first prize is a 16GB iPad with wifi and the second prize is a $200 education voucher.
The competition has been extended and closes 20 February, 2011. For more information on the Chifley Youth Competition download a form here: 20 Feb Chifley Youth Competition 2010
