Brunswick School Year 8 student Akshima Marwah was presented with a Sir Peter Blake Young Leader award for demonstrating strong leadership at the school academically, in sport and culturally.

The award was presented to her by a Westpac Bank manager on behalf of the Sir Peter Blake Trust.

The senior school was given an inspirational talk by Mark Smith, a senior executive with Spark, as part of celebrating Leadership Week.

The children produced posters of their leadership heroes and included inspirational quotes which are currently up around the school.
