Meet the eSafety Youth Council

I enjoy keeping up with current events, watching anime, and playing online games. On the Youth Council, I hope to raise awareness about online scams and help my school community stay safe. A key concern for me is the rise of AI-enabled scams and helping young people recognise them.
