We were absolutely privileged to support The Girl Empowerment Conference last weekend through a small monetary donation and Angela Gattung being present on Saturday as a mentor and judge.
Lead by a group of year 13 students under the leadership of Cecilia Ma, this conference brought together senior female students from a number of schools to spend their weekend tackling some of the 'big, hairy problems' of gender equity, social justice and environmental conservation.
Inspired by some amazing guest speakers, the participants worked in groups to design and then pitch business ideas. The innovation and creativity was outstanding! Our future is in safe hands with these young women leading the way.
