Dame Marie Bashir Award

Dame Marie Bashir Award

Congratulations to Year 12 student, Jasmine Lattouf, who received her Dame Marie Bashir Award at Parliament House during the holidays! Jasmine was recognised for her outstanding work in the community to foster peace and harmony in our world. Dr Sarah Kaine MP, stood in for The Hon Jodie Harrison MP (Minister for Women) and she was thrilled to present the award to Jasmine, particularly as she is also an alumni of St Ursula’s College (Class of 1992)! 

We were astounded to hear the wonderful initiatives the five recipients across NSW created to enable full inclusion for everyone in society. They had all given time out of school in various areas of expertise including Artificial Intelligence, Space Travel, Access to Drama education and Teenage Mental Health Services via innovative apps and personal endeavour. Each student was called upon to speak at the event and Ms Booth and I were proud to witness the great achievements of the young women who will definitely be future leaders, especially St Ursula’s very own, Jasmine Lattouf!
