Manners transcend words

To the three young ladies, students of Mt Clear College, well done for moving seats so the mother with child and pram could sit and use the pram space on the Buninyong bus this (Friday) afternoon. Your action spoke to your comment, 'We should be respectful'. This is so very different from another bus trip, some time ago. An older couple boarded the crowded bus. He was carrying an oxygen tank. I was the only person who offered a seat. He took it and his wife stood with me. The other people on the bus? The students of four private schools in Ballarat. To the young ladies, students of Mt Clear College, I hope you are our future leaders. Your actions show the way. Thank you.
