Foundation Breakfast Speaker Series with Piper Duck

The Shore Foundation Community Breakfast Series in 2023 was kicked off to a great start with a special guest speaker, Piper Duck, Australian Rugby Union player. 

Over 50 boys from Prep to Year 12 and their parents attended the breakfast at Graythwaite, including seasoned and aspiring rugby players, to hear Piper talk about her rugby journey starting at school, to making her international debut for the Wallaroos against Fiji, and now playing for the Waratahs in the Super W competition. 

Piper was inspiring and engaging, with the boys eager to know how much she could bench press!  The importance of leading by serving others, no matter your title or position and being mentally and physically prepared for everything you do were just some points of discussion between Piper and the engaged audience.  Piper also talked about her teammates as her family – something which inspires her to do her best every time she plays a game. 

Last year the Foundation hosted its first Breakfast Speaker Seminar, with Chris Reason (Journalist) as the guest speaker. These informal breakfasts are a great way to connect and engage with different aspects of the school and our community.  

We hope to see you at the next one in Term 2 – watch out for your email invitation next term.
