Cracking the Code 2023 International Women’s Day Breakfast W

e were thrilled to have hosted an incredible 2023 International Women’s Day (IWD) Breakfast, featuring a panel of inspiring alumnae, Dr Danielle Gescheit (OL 2007), Olivia Willee (OL 1992), and Lauriston’s Head of Digital Learning, Emily Gibbs-Connor. The breakfast was hosted by Claudette Leeming (OL 1991), Chair of School Council, Alice Robinson (OL 1991), past Chair of the Lauriston Foundation, and Principal Susan Just.

Together, we recognise the importance of the United Nations Women Australia’s IWD theme of ‘Cracking the

Code’ and celebrate our community’s forward-thinking and innovative women. We also showcased the work of our Fabrication Lab (FabLab) with our 3D printed plant pots which were custom-made for our guest speakers, as well as a few lucky draw prizes.

The IWD Breakfast served as a reminder of the important contributions of women in society, and the ongoing work that still needs to be done to achieve gender equality. It was an uplifting and empowering event that encouraged all attendees to continue to strive for a more equitable and just world for all.
