New youth mayor ‘up for the challenge’ Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au NEWLY appointed youth mayor of Frankston Aaron Quarrell said he is “happy and honoured” to have been given the role. Mr Quarrell, from Frankston North, was made the second youth mayor of Frankston on 12 March, taking over from outgoing youth mayor Gerard Felipe at the end of his one year term. “I’m really happy and honoured for this opportunity, but it’s definitely outside my comfort zone. It’s an enormous responsibility, but I’m up for the challenge and looking forward to learning as much as I possibly can about how local government works,” Mr Quarrell said. “I’m passionate about engaging youth with education opportunities, tackling youth drug and alcohol dependency, and continuing council’s great work promoting Frankston as an inclusive and diverse city. “My hope is that at the end of my 12 month term, I will have grown personally, and gained skills that will help me build a successful career in the future.” The mayor Michael O’Reilly said “the youth mayor role is an opportunity to learn about local government, gain priceless mentoring from council and officers, and develop valuable leadership skills.” “It will be Aaron’s job to work with our city’s youth councillors, and present to Council recommendations on how we can continue to improve our youth services and initiatives,” he said.

Labor candidate to be questioned over education QUESTIONS from the community on education will be welcomed at an Education Forum at Patterson River Secondary College on 27 March, 5pm 6pm. The event is hosted by Fair Funding Now, an initiative of the Australian Education Union. It will run from 5pm - 6pm. Labor candidate Peta Murphy has confirmed she will be attending. Dunkley MP Chris Crewther will not be in attendance. He said “it is not a neutral apolitically organised forum. I’m not going to walk into what is a set up organised by a group whose simple aim is to rid me from the seat.”
