The College community celebrated International Women’s Day with pride. With the theme of Invest in women: Accelerate progress, our student leaders attended a number of community events where they met and networked with local business leaders.
Principal Steven Morris and College Captain Isabella Pettit attended the International Women’s Day lunch at Brookwater Golf Club, where they heard keynote speaker Cathie Reid AM, Co-Founder of Australia’s Epic Pharmacy and Icon Group. Year 12 Prefects Neveah Kailani, Isabella Pettit, Audrey Taylor, Melody Chen, and Lilli Sayer attended the International Women’s Day Breakfast. Hosted by Zonta International at the Racecourse Hotel, Senior Sergeant Lauren Reeve (Queensland Police Service) was the guest speaker and shared her work within the Ipswich Domestic Violence support unit and community consultation. The students met The Hon Shayne Neumann MP, Federal Member for Blair, and other local community members, and they represented the College wonderfully.
On Campus, all of our students had the opportunity to enjoy delicious homemade purple cupcakes at Morning Tea on both the Primary and Secondary Campuses. All students and staff were invited to enjoy lunch at the International Women’s Day picnic in the Courtyard and Old Chapel Area. A big thank you to Mrs Ahern and our Year 11 RAISE students for their hard work with the set-up and decorations.
