International Women's Day Events
12 March
Friday 8 March was International Women's Day, and it was fantastic to welcome three inspiring women to Damascus College, to present to students, staff, and families.
At the breakfast Sr Veronica Lawson and Julie White nee Brookman, Class of 1994 were the special guest speakers, who shared their journey as a woman and their perspectives on women in leadership in the current society. All attendees enjoyed a beautiful continental breakfast and walked away with a feeling of empowerment and inspiration.
At the lunchtime event Ebony O’Doherty-Bowman, Class of 2019 presented to students, and all in attendance were energised and interested to hear how she became an Electrician at Powercor. Amongst many other messages, Ebony shared that she was the only female in a job like hers, and told the students to believe in themselves, and to surround themselves with those that believe in them.
Much gratitude to Sr Veronia, Julie, and Ebony for attending Damascus today, and sharing your insights and wisdom with the Damascus community.
