Nairwng (She/Her) is currently living in the ACT as a Year 11 student. She is a strong advocate for young people’s rights and participation in decision making, which led her to become an active member of the ACT Youth Advisory Council, join her school’s SRC and lead as a School Captain in 2024.
Outside of education, Nairwng is involved in the sports, arts and entertainment industries and is lucky enough to be able to hear the different experiences of young people from all backgrounds go through, shaping her own ideas and insights on various issues. While she has been living in Australia for the past 11 years, Nairwng comes from a CALD migrant background, having moved from Bangladesh at a young age. Because of this, she has a strong understanding of the detrimental impact a lack of connection with youth can have on communities.
With her contribution to the Civic Engagement Youth Advisory Group, Nairwng strives to develop young Australians’ understanding and involvement in important decision-making.
