Celebrating International Women’s Day

Queenwood parent, Amber Sherlock, set an inspiring example at the International Women’s Day Breakfast in Mosman. Her speech addressed the theme The Bias. Senior School students hosted an assembly about their female role models, and Junior School assembly addressed the history of the day. The girls shared letters and purple cupcakes to mark the occassion.

“

To the young girls here today: Dream big. Work hard. Believe anything is possible. Fight for your place in the world. Be the person you want to be. Make choices based on what YOU want, not because of your gender. Stand strong, don’t take no for an answer, speak up when you see injustice, know that other people’s choices don’t have to be YOUR choices. Look up, look ahead. The future is bright with you in it. Because I believe we all rise when women rise.”
