Christian College Geelong’s Ellie Morgan was one of just 25 students nationwide selected to attend the Olympic Change-Maker Summit in Canberra.
Young leaders from across Australia converged on the nation’s capital this week to influence the future of the Olympic Movement on the road to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games.
Ellie was selected from nearly 1000 nominations to be part of this year’s program.
Hosted by the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC), the summit featured workshops, leadership development sessions, and the opportunity to problem-solve alongside Olympians Noemie Fox, Emma Jeffcoat, Brodie Summers, Conor Nicholas and Nathan Katz.
Ellie and the other Change-Makers explored how sport can be a powerful tool for leadership, personal growth, inclusion, wellbeing, and social impact.
“It is such a huge honour, all the people here are so amazing,” Ellie said.
“So many like-minded people. Just the opportunities, getting to meet Olympians and getting to hear from them and their stories, like the stories about how they’ve had to deal from setbacks and injuries, so it really helps you grow as a person, and I’m just very grateful for the experience.”
Change-Maker culminated in a presentation at Parliament House where students pitched their ideas to influential members of the Australian Government and Olympic Movement.
