Team Touch – International Women’s Day

In celebration of International Women’s Day 2026, we recognise Anika Buchanan (Year 10), Sofia White (Year 10) and Adelaide Gilpin (Year 10), who have generously volunteered their time to support our Year 7 students through coaching Touch Football.

This year’s International Women’s Day theme, “Give to Gain,” highlights how sharing time, skills and leadership helps create opportunities for others while also building confidence and experience for those who give. Anika, Sofia and Adelaide have embraced this spirit by mentoring younger students, encouraging participation in sport and helping our Year 7 girls develop their skills and confidence on the field.

Their willingness to give back to the school community is a wonderful example of student leadership in action. Through their encouragement, guidance and enthusiasm, they have helped create a positive sporting environment and shown exactly what “Give to Gain” looks like in action.

We thank Anika, Sofia and Adelaide for their leadership and generosity in supporting our Year 7 Touch program and for embodying the spirit of International Women’s Day – Give to Gain.
