Empowering Insights: MP Louise Miller-Frost Inspires Year 11 Students on Social Justice and Career Paths

The Year 11 cohort heard from Louise Miller-Frost (MP for Boothby) as part of their Religion, Spiritualities, and Meaning assignment on Social Justice. With a background in public health and roles as the CEO of the St Vincent de Paul Society of South Australia and of Catherine House prior to her entry into politics, she was well-placed to discuss how social equity can be achieved through better policies and programs. 

Ms Miller-Frost’s visit inspired our Year Eleven students. 

Cheyarn commented “Listening to Louise Miller-Frost was a great opportunity to understand her journey through different jobs and the goals she had to construct to achieve where she is now.” 

Taya, too, found empowerment in Ms Miller-Frost’s story, sharing, “her story helped me to understand that I wasn’t restricted to the career path I choose now, in high school. She inspired me to believe that I can not only become who I want to become now but forever choose who I want to be in the future, even as a female.”

Celeste, Lucy, and Veronica commented, “the experience provided us with a highly insightful and engaging perspective of social justice at a personal, state, and federal level. It allowed us to understand how women can have such crucial roles in male-dominated fields and how to obtain those positions. The presentation illustrated how politicians are actively working within the community and their current goals. Overall, we are very grateful to have had the opportunity to hear her speak and ask her questions about both politics and social justice.”

We thank her for sharing her wisdom and inspiring us all to make a difference.
