Kingston continues to foster an appreciation of democracy in our local school students thanks to our long-running Junior Mayor program.
Evie Brandon-Cope, from Edithvale Primary School, has been elected as Kingston's Junior Mayor for 2025/26.
Evie will now work alongside Kingston Mayor Georgina Oxley to represent the community at key events and functions including citizenship ceremonies, official openings and much more.
Mayor Oxley said the Junior Mayor program provides a great opportunity to recognise and celebrate the achievements of young people in Kingston.
"This is one of my favourite events of the year because it's always really great to hear from our young leaders about their ideas on how to make Kingston an even better place to live," Cr Oxley said.
"I always come away so impressed by the high quality of speakers and the passion and deep thinking that goes into the presentations.
