Governor-General Hears the Voice of our Future
17 November 2022
East Arnhem Regional Council facilitated a forum over breakfast for Their Excellencies Governor-General of Australia David Hurley and Mrs. Hurley to connect and interact with students representing the schools in the Gove peninsula.
This meeting builds on the long-standing interest the Governor-General has in the wellbeing of regional and remote Australia; of the many conversations, the biggest were discussions on the region’s education institutions, unique lifestyles and communities.
The Governor-General also opened the floor for questions which was very well received by the students.
