High schools on the Peninsula celebrated International Women’s Day (IWD) on Tuesday with a range of celebrations to help mark this year’s theme of ‘Break the Bias’.
Brisbane Water Secondary College (BWSC) Umina and Woy Woy each paid homage to the day, with pledges to tackle biases, gender stereotypes and discrimination.
BWSC Woy Woy Principal Rebecca Cooper and ten female student leaders joined the Central Coast Women’s Health Centre’s IWD event at the Naughty Noodle Fun Haus in Ettalong Beach.
Back on campus, students witnessed an ‘inspirational’ presentation from former student, Ashleigh Knox, who has now become a ‘leading aircraft woman’ in the Australian Air Force.
Students were then asked to write down their aspirations for their future to create dream catchers.
