An incredible well done to Cannons Creek Independent School Grade 11 pupil Hanaa Parker who has been elected as a member of the Junior City Council (JCC).
The JCC is an initiative run by the City, which aims to expose secondary school students in Cape Town to the workings of the City Council. The programme aims to foster a sense of civic responsibility among the youth, and to develop young people’s skills and self-image so that they can become confident in their abilities to bring about change. The representatives will spend time and effort dealing with socio-economic issues affecting the youth.
“I am really excited and grateful to have this opportunity and I am looking forward to meeting pupils from other schools and making a difference in the community.”
