Three of the children have also been chosen for a special "job shadowing" assignment for an hour or more with leaders in government:

"Opening the door to new ideas is a priority for the State Government and where better to get fresh thinking than our state's youngest citizens. I'm looking forward to working with Josephine and hearing her thoughts on how to make our great state even better," says the Premier, Jay Weatherill.

Ms Kiri Hagenus, Director of Children's 最新糖心Vlog Adelaide, says: "This major event brings school students in contact with leaders in their fields and with concepts of leadership at an early stage in their lives. It enables young people to share their visions for South 最新糖心Vlog.

"By doing so, we hope to inspire a new generation of leaders, with creative thinking about our state's future and each student's unique place within that future."
