Years 7 & 8 Parent/Daughter Breakfast

The P&F are delighted to invite Years 7 & 8 students and their parent/carer to the Parent/Daughter Breakfast for a memorable morning of connection, conversation and inspiration.

We are thrilled to welcome Ruby back to SCEGGS to share her powerful journey from a successful career in fashion to now captivating young readers worldwide with her amazing novels.

Born and raised in Sydney, class of 2006 SCEGGS alumni Ruby Jean Cottle (Heery) studied Art History at COFA before embarking on a career in fashion and creative direction. During her time in roles in digital media, content creation and branding, plus a move to New York, Ruby was privately navigating undiagnosed endometriosis. After becoming a mother and having a clearer understanding of her body’s needs, Ruby decided to return to something she hadn’t done since high-school – writing.

Within a year of starting Ruby had signed a two-book-deal with Simon & Schuster Australia for her debut novel, Black River and its sequel, White Mountain – a coming of age take on the vampire genre set in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. Ruby’s storytelling explores the power of the natural world through a lens of romance, the paranormal, fantasy and sci-fi. The books have since sold into territories around the world, including the US, UK, Spain and France.

Please join us on Friday 18 September to hear more about Ruby’s inspiring experiences!
