There were about 120 girls from Year 7 to Year 12 present at the sold out event. It was an entertaining night for all the Secondary girls to have fun and hang out. First, the Girls’ ¾ÞÈéÊÓƵ Captain Zainab gave a speech welcoming everyone, followed by the opening Quran recitation. Ms Gulhan did the Acknowledgement of Country and thanked all the sponsors. Next, Ms Safiye directed a Talent Show where a few groups of girls came up to the stage to sing or tell jokes. Afterwards, the audience chose a winning group. Next, we prayed and then had a delicious buffet dinner, followed by a dessert buffet. Concluding, we had a panel of a few VCE Year 11 and 12 girls answering questions asked by the other grades. By and large, this was an incredibly memorable and fun night.

Additionally, Special Thanks goes to:

• The State Government of Victoria for funding this Victorian Youth Fest event
• Victorian Police for supporting the event
