The Power of Women Supporting Women

Dani Goucher, Deputy Principal, reflected on the event, saying:“When we come together, we amplify each other’s strengths, uplift one another, and create opportunities for future generations. Today’s conversations reminded us all that true progress happens when we support, empower, and stand beside each other.
