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.
