THE Junior Jacaranda Queen Quest is now in its 13th year and another 10 keen young girls will be vying for the title this year.

While the popularity of the 'senior' queen quest has a long and colourful history, there were not many events teenage girls could get involved in. Since its introduction, the junior quest has been a popular and successful addition to the Jacaranda Festival.

Apart from having a fun time, candidates also have the chance to experience new things. They are tutored and learn the difficult task of public speaking, a valuable skill that helps improve confidence and social interaction.

At fundraising functions the girls try their hand at lawn bowls and put their trivia skills to the test. They are able to participate in a fashion parade and learn techniques in make-up and skincare. They also meet and speak with lots of different people as they are involved in many Jacaranda functions leading up to, and throughout, Jacaranda Week.

For each young girl, it is a journey of special memories, of making new friends and of personal growth. Every year it is very rewarding for the committee to see the building of confidence and self-esteem in the girls as they take part in the quest..
