OUR STUDENT VOICES ON MADE IN LITHGOW
A fantastic conversation with three of our School Captains, sharing their thoughts on Lithgow, their futures and the issues that matter to young people. Well worth a listen!

🎙️ EPISODE 52: THE FUTURE OF LITHGOW IS SITTING IN THIS ROOM.

We spend plenty of time hearing adults talk about what young people need.

So this time, we decided to actually ask them.

Three of Lithgow High School’s incoming school captains joined Legend and me for one of the most refreshing conversations we’ve had on Made in Lithgow.

🏠 Do young people actually want to stay in Lithgow?

🚗 Do they feel like they have to leave to succeed?

💻 Could tech, engineering and emerging industries bring them back?

🤖 How are students really using AI?

📱 What is social media doing to their generation?

🏉 Sport, fitness and opportunity.

💃 Dance, teaching and creativity.

🎓 University, careers and the pressure to have your whole life figured out at 17.

And then something happened that hasn’t happened before...

They started interviewing us. 😂

The conversation about failure, changing careers and not having your entire life mapped out might be one of my favourite parts of the episode.

These three are intelligent, ambitious, grounded and not afraid to speak their minds.

Rather than adults telling us what the next generation thinks about Lithgow...

here’s your chance to hear it directly from them.
