International Women’s Day Breakfast

On Wednesday 8 March our Portfolio Captain, Mary Anoya and Faith Captain, Kardina Batti accompanied by Miss Krasic attended the CSNSW International Women’s Day Breakfast, at the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel. They were joined by a number of Catholic schools including Brigidine College Randwick and St Clare’s College Waverley.
We listened to guest keynote speakers, NSW Minister for Education, Hon. Sarah Mitchell and Shadow Minister for Education, Prue Car, discuss women in leadership and provide advice for the future to student leaders. The morning was spent networking with other student leaders and staff as well as enjoying a lovely continental breakfast. It was an insightful and inspiring morning.
Mary Anoya shares her experience:
Attending the 2023 International Women’s Day breakfast was a great privilege and I was honoured to be representing MMCC at such a prestigious event. I was greatly motivated by the inspirational words of both the Education Minister, Hon. Sarah Mitchell as well as Member of Parliament, Prue Car, to encourage the young women in our school community to strive for better. The event left me with words of courage that I will uphold throughout not only my life but also promote to our school community. As MP Prue Car mentioned in her talk, “go where your heart takes you, do what you want”, we as Mary MacKillop women are called to live life and unite as one to embrace equity, as the 2023 IWD theme suggests. Ultimately, I will take on the great pieces of advice I have gained from this memorable experience to inspire others within our community to live life to the full and graduate as confident Mary MacKillop Women”
