THE Macarthur region’s first Loud and Proud Youth Forum shone with community spirit on Wednesday.

It follows other Chronicle youth initiatives, including the successful Inspire campaign which sends prominent Australians to local schools as guest speakers.

Schools from across the region sent students and teachers to take part in the forum, including James Meehan, Sarah Redfern, Elderslie, Airds, Campbelltown and Thomas Reddall high schools.

John Therry Catholic High School and St Patrick’s College Campbelltown also attended.

Macarthur youth organisations - including Youth Solutions, Youth Connections, Camden and Campbelltown councils, Community Links Wollondilly and MG Mygateway - also attended.
