Tuesday, 8th March was International Women’s Day and to mark the day the Year 12 Student Leaders, along with Mrs Refalo, School Principal and Mrs Beadman, Year 12 Coordinator, attended the Western Sydney 29th Annual IWD Breakfast hosted by the Zonta Club of Sydney Hills.
The breakfast was held at the Novotel Parramatta with keynote speaker Ms Renee Wootton, Manager Strategy and Planning, Western Sydney Airport, addressing the attendees. Amy H., Leader of Coolock House, said that she found listening to Ms Wootton very inspiring as she is a woman who is not only working in a male dominated field but who is dominating it. “We need to celebrate women like Renee Wootton more”, says Amy. “Hearing her tell us that her journey hasn’t all just been successes and that she has had some failures too is a good message to hear. She told us how she has learnt to work through failure and continue to persevere despite setbacks and that this has helped her become where she is now. This is very inspirational to hear”.
