Girl Up Club

Over the past 18 months, Girl Up Club has proudly raised almost $5,000 to support the United Nations, Parramatta Women’s Shelter and Birthing Kit Foundation Australia. This has been achieved through a variety of fundraising initiatives.

Our ongoing commitment to advocacy and service culminated on Monday 25 August when members assembled 200 birthing kits in partnership with Birthing Kit Foundation Australia. Each kit contains essential items designed to improve maternal health outcomes and minimise risk of infection, particularly in emergency situations and low-resource settings. The process of assembly proved deeply meaningful amongst all members as students reflected on the real and lasting impact that such support provides globally.

We encourage the College community to continue supporting future Girl Up initiatives. Next term, we will be running a stall at the Fra Angelico Festival where you can purchase goods to directly contribute to future projects that empower women and girls.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Ms Jenkins, Ms Ma and Ms Lam for their invaluable assistance and encouragement which made this initiative possible.
