Recently, Year 10 students Rosie Borg and Mikayla Ravitu recently represented our school at the Soroptimist International “Enable Empower” workshop in Griffith. Facilitated by Burn Bright, this dynamic annual event brings together young women from five local high schools to build leadership skills, expand their networks, and strengthen communication.

Soroptimist International is a global service organization dedicated to transforming the lives of women and girls through education and advocacy. Partnering with Burn Bright—an organization known for delivering empowering wellbeing and leadership programs—the day challenged students to step outside their comfort zones through interactive, hands-on activities.Rosie and Mikayla brought incredible enthusiasm and responsibility to every task. The highlight of the workshop saw participants discussing local and global issues from a youth perspective and laying the groundwork for student-led action projects to implement in their own schools. Moving forward, the students will also have the opportunity to access local mentorship from Soroptimist International members to help bring their ideas to life if they wish.

Rosie and Mikayla are to be commended for their outstanding participation. Their project is currently in its initial planning stage, and we look forward to sharing more details once logistics and approvals are finalized.

We extend our sincere thanks to the Griffith branch of Soroptimist International for their generous sponsorship and ongoing support in creating this opportunity for our young women.

Finally, “In November, let gratitude be your guide as you journey through a month of reflection, connection, and warmth.”
