Another fantastic SALSA Peer Leader Workshop with the students at Plumpton High School. This year we trained 41 Year 10 students to become SALSA Peer Leaders. We were thrilled to hear that students have been eagerly awaiting their chance to become SALSA Peer Leaders since Year 9. It is heartening to see how the SALSA program is loved by the students each year. Their enthusiasm is a powerful reminder of the lasting impact the SALSA program has on students year after year.

This year we are celebrating an exciting milestone, 10 years of the SALSA Youth Voices program!

For the last decade, we have partnered with the GWS Giants to provide SALSA Peer Leaders with the amazing opportunity of spending a day at the GWS Giants VALO Community Centre. PERU’s SALSA Youth Voices program supports and encourages students to think critically about their school environment and develop an initiative that will increase the healthy food intake at their school or increase participation in physical activity.

This year we were joined by students from Blacktown Girls High School, Model Farms High School (NSW) , Nepean Creative and Performing Arts High School, Rooty Hill High School and Rouse Hill High School for a fun day of collaboration, teamwork and fun!

Thank you to Ali and Jamal for your ongoing commitment to developing tomorrow’s leaders and helping us to empower Western Sydney’s young people.

The Youth Voices Competition winners have been announced!

Congratulations to Anastasia, Hohepa and Mia on being awarded 1st, 2nd and 3rd, respectively, at the Multicultural Health Week Launch Event 2026.

PERU was proud to partner with NSW Multicultural Health Communication Service for Multicultural Health Week. This year we ran a ‘Share Your Story’ competition for NSW High School students aged 12-18 years. More than 115 students across NSW shared a short story about how participating in physical activity helps them build connection and supports their mental health and wellbeing.

We were delighted to have the students who wrote the three highest scoring stories attend launch event with their families and teachers to celebrate their achievement.

We are excited to share their stories with you soon.

What a fantastic morning at the Youth Health and Wellbeing Symposium supported by the Westmead Association at Westmead Hospital!

Thank you to our wonderful speakers for sharing your insights and expertise on the commercial determinants of health and how they influence the health and wellbeing of our young people. Not only did participants walk away with greater knowledge and understanding of the determinants’ influence, but they also walked away feeling uplifted, knowing our young people are being supported and empowered through various initiatives that help them navigate these determinants.

For the first time, a program for school-aged students in years 10-12 will take eager learners through the rooms and bunkers of the radiotherapy department and explain potential career paths in relatively unknown specialty.

Professor Sandra Turner is a radiation oncologist, passionate advocate and cofounder of World Radiotherapy Awareness Day.

Sandra says the reason for advocacy is simple; that common misunderstandings around radiotherapy are preventing people from potentially life-saving and life-improving treatment.
