One of the highlights of each year for our club is the Lions Youth of the Year program which has a proud history in encouraging and fostering leadership skills in Australian students approaching the end of their high school years.

This year the Bonville-Sawtell YOTY local public speaking night was held at Sawtell RSL on Tuesday 18th February, 2025 and five amazing students from Toormina High School participated: Eva Smith, Keira Welsh, Jack Jones, Ivy Baker, and Penelope Farmer supported by family, friends, and teachers.

By emphasising qualities like contribution to the community and school, public speaking, academic skills, sporting and cultural involvement, Youth of the Year aims to bring forth the next generation of outstanding young Australians. These five certainly reflected all that.

The winner of the public speaking section was Penelope Farmer. Overall winner was Eva Smith. Eva progresses to the next round, on 1st March, with more young people from the mid to north coast.
