Embracing Equity For International Women's Day 2023

On International Women's Day, 65 female students from across Years 10, 12, and 13 listened to an Embracing Equity talk from a law firm called HFW 

The Embracing Equity theme aimed to explain the difference between 'equity' and 'equality' and to highlight that equality of opportunity is not always enough on its own. The session included talks from four inspirational female leaders from across the legal sector who provided an overview of their career and educational pathways to date.

The session was very interesting, and the quality of the questions asked by students demonstrated both their maturity and their wealth of knowledge on this topic. The speakers commented afterwards on our students' confidence and enthusiasm to ask further questions and overall were "very impressed".

HFW is a global law firm specialising in aerospace, construction, insurance, commodities, energy and shipping. They have over 600 lawyers (including over 170 partners) with 20 offices across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia.

Here's to continuing to celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women globally!
