Young leaders attend White Ribbon breakfast in Port Macquarie

Students were drawn from Hastings Secondary College, St Columba Anglican School, Wauchope High School, Kempsey High School and St Paul’s College.

The November 27 youth-focused event at the Shared Health Research and Education Campus, hosted by the Mid North Coast Local Health District, supported White Ribbon Australia’s work to end men’s violence against women.

The guest speakers were Port Macquarie Clontarf Academy director Charlie Maher, Hastings Secondary College student Ethan Schafer, who is part of the Port Macquarie Clontarf Academy, and Mid North Coast Local Health District chief executive Stewart Dowrick.

Mr Dowrick said we all had to work as a society to purge the problem of domestic violence in our community.

The Mid North Coast Local Health District has accreditation as a White Ribbon workplace.
