Josh, who spoke to Applecross Rotary in February, is the State Winner of the Lions Youth of the Year Program for 2025.
In early May, he’ll be flying to Victoria to proudly represent his school, Northam Senior High School, and his regional Wheatbelt hometown, as well as WA, on the national stage.
So proud of you mate. Right in the midst of a hectic time with a suite of assignments at school, this has taken a huge amount of dedication and effort and your competition was right up there - to be honest I thought the fact that you had won the regional finals was incredible. Now you are off to Victoria to represent your state!! Absolutely brilliant.
You are fighting; fighting for your place and your right to have opportunities in education and in life that so many others just have handed to them - all the while fighting for Charlotte and for your mum and blazing a trail for your other two sisters; you are breaking the mould, changing the rules and taking your place in your future that you truly deserve.
