International Women’s Day Assembly

On 5 March the Years 5-12 students attended our annual International Women’s Day Assembly, discussing this year’s theme, ‘Invest in Women: Count her in. Accelerate Progress’. International Women’s Day will be celebrated on Friday 8 March and gives focus to the rights and achievements of women all over the world. The school was fortunate to hear from various speakers, students and teachers who discussed how as a community, we can invest in women to take risks and make change.

Guest speaker Dawn Carroll, who is a senior manager in the architecture/project management/construction industry, shared inspiring insights into her experiences working in a predominantly male-dominated industry. The panel consisted of the College Principal Ms Skerman, English teacher Mr Di Ciaccio, St Patrick’s Inclusivity Prefect Joshua Santangelo, Wellbeing Prefect, Alysia and College Captains Molly and Lucy. We thank all our speakers for giving their time to make contributions and share their thoughts on the importance of empowering young women.
