Candi Dempster - Educating And Engaging Across Rural and Regional Areas

Welcome to BRAVE, a podcast from the Townsville Community Information Centre.

Schools have been among the most visible social victims of the pandemic, with their closures making national news and affecting almost every family on some level. In this episode of Brave, we speak to a School Principal, Candi Dempster from Ryan Catholic College in Townsville, about the processes of supporting students and young people through unprecedented times. Candi is only a recent arrival from Charters Towers, however, so we also talk about some of the differences in life, support services, and resourcing between cities and regional areas. 

Candi's story is just one of the many from our local community that we hope will inspire you.
