Broken Hill resident, Hayden Zammit has been selected to appear on the cover of this year’s Broken Hill Yellow Pages^® and White Pages^® book which will be distributed throughout the Broken Hill region from 19 March 2011.

Each year, Sensis, the publisher of the Yellow Pages^® and White Pages^®, recognises the contribution of local residents in the community by featuring them on the cover of its books.

The theme for this year’s covers, Australians Creating a Better Future, recognises people throughout Australia who have made a positive contribution to their community through projects or initiatives that help to make a better future for Australia. These projects have contributed environmentally, economically and/or socially to the local community and will benefit the next generation of Australians.

Hayden’s selection recognises his leadership in organising various fundraisers for charities. Hayden collated and presented ideas to his regional education director about ways to tackle underage drinking within the community.

Hayden was selected to represent Australia at the Global Leadership Conference in Washington DC in 2010 and he also attended the Environmental Sustainability Conference in Sydney and returned to transform his school’s recycling practices.

“I think it is really important to for all of us to do everything we can for a more sustainable future. I couldn’t have succeeded without the support and input of my friends and family. They were my inspiration to help the local community.”

Hayden is the President of the Student Representative Council at his school and been awarded numerous awards for his work. He also helps out at the Broken Hill Council’s Visitor Information Centre on weekends and school holidays.
