A huge round of applause to CVC student Ella Rigby, who was recently crowned winner of the TEDx Perth 30-Second Ideas for Change Competition!
Ella’s 30 second video titled, ‘Changing Our Youth Mental Health System – Saving Our Youngest Sufferers,’ delivered a powerful, raw message about how youth with mental health issues are managed in hospitals and institutions.
Ella was initially shortlisted as one of six finalists in the 14-21yrs TEDx competition, devoted to bringing ideas worth spreading to communities around the globe. Ella will now go on to produce a longer format TEDx talk which will be published on the official TEDx YouTube channel later this year.
We look forward to watching and sharing this amazing achievement with the CVC community. Congratulations Ella! And a huge thank you to CVC HASS teacher Ms Young who mentored Ella throughout the competition process.
