Student Leadership Conference

Ms Holly O’Sullivan Williams

For over two decades, the Alliance of Girls’ Schools Australasia has hosted an inspirational conference for student leaders across the country.

The aim of the conference is to allow student leaders to network with other young women with similar leadership roles at their schools. This year, the conference theme was Kaleidoscope with the vision of encouraging students to change the way they look at things for 2021 after a year of constantly shifting events due to the global pandemic in 2020. For the first night of the conference, St Aidan’s hosted an informal gathering for other all girls’ schools in Brisbane. Such an event allowed our School Captains and Sacristans to share their ideas and vision for the school in an environment that was both relaxed and supportive. The night was a celebration for young women as they worked together to recognise their potential as school leaders and decision makers. I could not be more proud of our girls’ efforts to connect with and listen to their peers.
