Over summer, I had the privilege of visiting many local schools across our community. It was fantastic to congratulate new leaders and hear from students about what they'd been learning, and it was a privilege to recognise local students with my Casey Shield award. I created this award to recognise student achievement and contribution that is over and above academic achievement. My award recognises students who embody their school core values and who display personal growth, leadership and community spirit.

It was an honour to recognise the following students with my Casey Shield award: Mackenzie from Upper Yarra Secondary College; Madison from Lilydale High School; Bethany from Edinburgh College; Michaela from Oxley Christian College; Clover from Lilydale Heights College; Shayla from Mooroolbark College; Lucia from Yarra Hills Secondary College; Inuka from Belgrave Heights Christian School; Oscar from Upwey High School; Jacinta from Mount Lilydale Mercy College; and Kailee from Healesville High School. Congratulations to you all. These students were recognised for supporting other students; their commitment to personal growth, respect and kindness; their assistance with school events; and their positive can-do attitude. I'm looking forward to also recognising a student from Mater Christi College in Belgrave as well as students from Monbulk College and Mount Evelyn Christian School. Congratulations to the 2025 recipients of the Casey Shield award. Keep up the great work in our community.
