International Women’s Day
On Tuesday 8 March 2022, MLC School celebrated International Women’s Day, a day to celebrate the achievements of women and come together to raise awareness for women’s equality.
In the morning we hosted an International Women’s Day breakfast and were fortunate to have the NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb APM as our guest. As the Commissioner mentioned, the NSW Police Force only began to accept women in 1915, long after MLC School was founded to educate young women.
The IWD theme for 2022 is: #BreakTheBias. The Commissioner, and guest panellists, including Newington College School Captain and Gender Equity Captain joined a lively discussion on this very relevant topic – addressing how we can challenge stereotypes, fight bias, broaden perceptions, improve situations and celebrate women’s achievements.
Photos of the event are on the MLC School Facebook page. A recording of the event can be found below.
