At St Bernard's, we understand the importance of this day and its significance in driving action to strive toward a gender equal world. As an all-boys school, one of our missions is to instil a culture of respect in our young men, so that we can work towards a future where gender inequality is a thing of the past.
On Friday, 10 March, we gathered for a full school assembly to celebrate International Women’s Day. We had the privilege of hosting guest speaker Kate Walsh-Rose, who spoke to our students about inequalities that still exist for women, people of colour and people with disabilities. Kate had assistance from some of our students during assembly, to demonstrate using practical examples, problems that still exist within our society, and small actions we can all implement in our everyday lives to be champions of change.
A massive thank you to Kate for her time this morning, your interactive presentation had the students engaged throughout and your message will no doubt resonate within our Community for years to come.
