On Thursday 22nd February, we celebrated a belated Valentine\u2019s Day at the Fort with our annual Rose Drive, where you could purchase a rose and a heart and you could write a message to that special someone! This was a massive success, as we actually managed to sell 1300 roses &#8211; thank you to our Year 12 cohort who purchased a total of 526!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Just a fortnight later, we held our International Women\u2019s Day fundraising event, with a sausage sizzle run by fan-favourites student-run Bankstown Brothers (who rebranded to Bankstown Sisters for this special event!), with all the proceeds going to the UN Women Australia\u2019s IWD event at the ICC Sydney on Friday. The theme this year was <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cCount Her In: Invest in Women. Accelerate Progress.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, something which the 8 members of the SRC executive, accompanied by Ms Cameron and Mr O\u2019Neill, were able to learn about by listening to some amazing female speakers, such as Moana Hope (former AFLW player), Michele Bullock (current governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia &#8211; the first woman to hold that role) and Simone Clark (CEO of UN Women Australia).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6577\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/03\/Student-report-photo-2-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6576\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/03\/Student-report-photo-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Finally, the SRC has many thank you\u2019s to give out &#8211; first and foremost, to the staff and teachers for continuing to support us in our running of events, and general organisation. Secondly, to all the students, staff, and teachers who have taken part in our events, donating money to the UN Women\u2019s IWD event, and to the SRC. We love to see our school community so engaged, and can\u2019t wait to let you know what else is in store!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dante (he\/him)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">SRC Vice-President<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The SRC have just wrapped up 2 major events in our calendar &#8211; the Valentine\u2019s Rose Drive and the International Women\u2019s Day fundraiser.
