THERE is a new mayor in town. St John Vianney’s Primary School Grade 6 pupil Jasmine Warber was elected by her peers as Kingston Council’s junior mayor. The Parkdale resident told an audience of 350 guests compelling stories of how young people can reconnect in community spaces to clinch the junior mayorship for the next twelve months. Jasmine shared her idea of using the local beach as a space to connect young people and entertain them in an alcohol-free environment with activities such as with games, prizes and a movie. The idea came with the in-kind offer of her school donating a projector and offering this ‘amazing’ device for the community. Jasmine said this was just another example of her school’s generous community spirit and then humoured the crowd by whispering “the school made me say that”. At Monday evening’s Kingston Council meeting Jasmine addressed councillors and said she hoped she could be as good as an ambassador for the City of Kingston as predecessor Naveen Satish Kuma, an Aspendale Gardens Primary School pupil. Jasmine will accompany Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill to official council events throughout the year. Cr Gledhill joked he is happy he is taller than Jasmine, noting Naveen had outgrown him in height during his 12-month stint as junior mayor.
New team: Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill and junior mayor Jasmine Warber will represent the City of Kingston at civic events for the next 12 months.
