North Central LLEN was formed 22 years ago to creating opportunities for children and young people to be confident, resilient and to thrive in education, work and life.
In his report, Cr Straub said: “The pathways that the North Central LLEN and their partners facilitate for our young people are important - especially those that enable them to stay and live in our rural communities.”
