International Women’s Day is a vital occasion as it highlights the systemic inequalities that women continue to face worldwide. While progress has been made, women still experience disparities in areas such as education, employment, leadership opportunities and safety. By shining a light on these issues, we aim to foster awareness, encourage discussions and inspire action towards a more equitable future for all.
Over five months of planning, a diverse range of activities was developed to ensure meaningful conversations and engagement across all year levels. The week was packed with events, inspiring discussions and fundraising efforts that left a lasting impact on our community.
Highlights from the week included:
A special thank you to Year 12 students Angela, Genevieve, Freya, India, Tiffany and Isobel for their creativity and leadership in brainstorming activities, assisting with preparations and running the fundraising efforts. Additional thanks go to Jo Leech for her invaluable support and to Erin Boyd, who co-ordinated so much behind the scenes to make this vision a reality.
We also thank the Old Carey Grammarians Association for sponsoring the week.
