Today we are celebrating International Women’s Day by recognising some of the remarkable young women in our school community. Of course, we know there are many more who make us proud every day.

We asked staff to nominate students they particularly admire, and we loved reading the nominations that came back. They celebrate many different types of success and reflect our school values of kindness, courage and excellence.

Staff nominated young women who are academically exceptional, those who have shown incredible determination and improvement, students who successfully balance demanding commitments such as sport, music and the arts alongside their studies, girls who demonstrate kindness and leadership every day, and some who have overcome significant personal challenges and are now thriving.

Some students preferred their nominations to remain private, and we are equally proud of them and the example they set.

Throughout the day we will be sharing some of these nominations and celebrating just a few of the incredible young women who demonstrate the extraordinary in the ordinary every single day.

We are very proud of them all.
