Empowering students

On Thursday 22 August, two of our senior student representatives Laura Giovenale and Jennifer Sackprasit  attended the Young Women’s Leadership Seminar at Parliament House of NSW.

The program initiated by Parliament educators included a keynote speaker, panel of women MPs and a discussion on issues around effective leadership in society and the potential obstacles that women may experience in leadership roles.

Students were also given insight into a key role of Parliament House by watching leaders debate over a bill, observing the application of communication, problem-solving and decision-making skills. Laura and Jennifer had the pleasure of meeting and spending time with our local Member of Parliament, Tanya Davies,  leaving the seminar feeling a sense of inspiration and empowerment.
