The student led strike for climate change was part of a week long global strike action between September 20 - 27.

It wasn't just students who were making their voices heard. Supporting the students were parents, Wingecarribee Shire Councillors, a former politician and front-man of an iconic Australian band, concerned citizens and business owners.

With more than 500 people at the protest, the protest attracted more people than the first climate change rally in March.

Josh McKay, 10-years-old, was one of the co-planners of this rally and spoke about why it's important to speak up and take action on climate change.

"We hoped that there would be a lot of people coming, but this has exceeded our expectations," he said.

"We had so many people arriving at this extremely important event.

"We want to present [Whitlam MP] Stephen Jones with some letters and some leaves that the students have signed."

High school student Jemima Taylor took time out from school to protest a cause close to her heart.

"Climate change is something that I am genuinely really concerned about," she said.

"I'm striking because I'm a big believer in everyone doing their own little thing to help the environment.

"I take action in my own life and try and try and contribute in my own way.

"I also think that it's really important to feel like your a part of something big and part of a collective movement.

"I have to plan my whole life accordingly to climate change.

"Ultimately, it's a couple of periods at school. It's our future that really matters and school is about teaching you about the world.

"The school knows that I'm here. There policy was that if we were going to go, we had to go as individuals and it had to be our decision.

"It's an individual thing, it's an individual choice."

Parent Kathleen Austin-Gifford brought her primary school children to Glebe Park.

"We thought it was a good lesson for them to come and understand how unhappy we are with the government, and how they aren't doing anything about climate change," she said.

"Scott Morrison is in America at the moment and he's not even going to the UN crisis meeting and we are just outraged about it.

"Anything they learn in school today is not as important as what is going on here."

Also in attendance at the climate change protests were Wingecarribee Shire Councillors Larry Whipper, Gordon Markwart and Ian Scandrett as well as former Labor politician and Midnight Oil front man Peter Garrett.
