Kingston's youngest leaders have stepped into the spotlight, with Cleo Kapogiannatos from Our Lady of the Assumption Primary School elected as Kingston's Junior Mayor for 2026/27.
Cleo will work alongside Kingston Mayor Georgina Oxley over the next 12 months, representing the community at a range of civic events and functions including citizenship ceremonies, official openings and community celebrations.
Mayor Oxley said the long-running Junior Mayor program continues to provide an important opportunity for young people to have their voices heard.
"One of the best parts of this event is seeing the confidence, creativity and passion our young people bring when talking about issues that matter to them," Cr Oxley said.
"Our Junior Mayor and Junior Councillors represent the next generation of community leaders and it's incredibly encouraging to see how engaged and thoughtful they are about Kingston's future.
