International Women's Day

Taylor_Ruth.jpg

The International Women's Day breakfast in Adelaide, hosted by Senator Penny Wong, was a vibrant and inspiring event celebrating the achievements and contributions of women. With a strong focus on empowerment and gender equality, the event featured a powerful keynote address by guest speaker Rachele Perkins, a prominent advocate for Indigenous rights and social justice. Her speech resonated deeply with attendees, highlighting the importance of inclusivity and equal opportunities for all women, particularly those from marginalized communities. The breakfast brought together diverse voices, fostering meaningful conversations about progress and the work still to be done in achieving gender parity.

As a Catholic high school, we believe in nurturing our students' growth in values such as respect, equality, and social justice. Attending events like the International Women's Day breakfast not only aligns with these values but also provides all of our students with an opportunity to witness the power of strong female leadership and advocacy. It serves as a reminder of the importance of fostering a society where both genders are given equal opportunities and support. By participating in such events, our students are encouraged to become compassionate, informed, and active members of the community who champion gender equality and social justice for all.
