For International Women’s Day (IWD) 2025, the theme is March Forward. As IWD falls on Saturday 8 March, we will be celebrating on Thursday 6 March from 7am-8.15am in the Packer Theatre at our Senior School campus.

Cranbrook has always been proud of our compulsory Sports programme, encouraging all students to participate in teams for not only their physical, but mental health, as well as social skills and overall wellbeing. From Year 3 to Year 12, all Cranbrookians, boys (and girls from 2026) participate in Saturday Sport.

For this reason, we are delighted to welcome Isabella Nasser, Captain of the Australian Women’s Rugby Sevens team to speak to our community on how women’s sport is marching forward.

A second-generation Australian Rugby representative creating her own legacy, Isabella Nasser is an undeniable star on the rise in our Aussie Women’s Sevens team!

A talented multi-sport athlete growing up, Bella’s start in Sevens was inspired by the Women’s Gold medal at the Rio Olympics in 2016, and her rise was rapid.

Bella first represented Queensland just two years into her career, before taking on a leadership role in the Australia A team and ultimately making her senior debut in Cape Town Sevens Tournament in 2022.

The dynamic #10 has played in 14 tournaments to date, and having recently returned from her first Olympic Games campaign, is now set to lead this next generation of Australian Women’s Sevens success, having recently been elevated to the role of Captain. 

A passionate traveller, student and authentically herself, Bella also values the balance provided by life away from footy and is driven to make an impact both on and off the field.
