International Women’s Day, Friday 8 March, 2019

Snowy Mountains Grammar School will be hosting an inaugural International Women’s Day breakfast on Friday 8 March, 2019. Throughout the world on this day, communities will gather together to celebrate and commemorate the diverse and invaluable contribution of women in society. The theme for our local event will be:

“Inspiring Young Women in the Snowy Monaro Region”

The aim of our International Women’s Day breakfast is to foster connections between local community members and the young women in our region, expose our young ladies to the myriad career opportunities available, and inspire them to pursue a life of purpose and passion.

Female students in Years 7-12, and with staff members and mothers from Snowy Mountains Grammar School are invited to attend. It is our intention to broaden the invitation to include all young ladies in our community as the event grows in future years. Inspiring and successful female role models from our community have been invited to share their life journey surrounded by a table of eight young ladies, with guests rotating every twenty minutes. There will be additional tables set aside for female staff members and mothers who would like to join in celebrating this day with us.

Our keynote speaker is Laura Darlington, an Everest summiteer, the first Australian woman to climb to the summit of Makalu Mountain, the fifth highest mountain in the world, and a director at KPMG.

Tickets for the International Women’s Day breakfast are $25 for students and $30 for adults and can be purchased until Sunday, 3rd March 2018. Please note that tickets must be pre-purchased and will not be available on the day. Students will be required to attend the breakfast in full school uniform and parents are asked to drop their students at Rydges at 6:50am. The female student body will walk to school at the conclusion of the breakfast, ready to commence Period 2. Please ensure that specific special dietary requirements are emailed to angela.dutch@smgs.nsw.edu.au.

Snowy Mountains Grammar School is excited to be hosting this event and looks forward to creating a memorable and rewarding day of celebration in our vibrant school calendar.
