I was present in Port Lincoln recently for the launch of the new YCS group. It was led by Miriam Santic, a year 10, who had been to the YCS National Conference in Melbourne and been elected as diocesan representative. She gave an excellent presentation on what YCS is and why it is good to join. The students present were inspired to participate and create actions in line with their faith, as young Christian leaders. Well done, Port Lincoln! See photo on the right.
