IWD 2022: Visits,
workshop, assemblies
+ panels galore!
On Tuesday 8th March we
celebrated International
Women’s Day 2022 with
a packed programme of
events and activities.
The day began for Year 12 girls with
a visit to the Canary Wharf Group
where they listened to speakers
and joined in a Q&A session
with professionals from the built
environment sector.
At break time, Ms Kilmanaite
introduced students to the work of
some famous women artists and they
coloured postcards based on the
artists’ work.
The English department ran a session
to celebrate their favourite female
writers. Each teacher chose a famous
author/poet and then asked students
to write about their own favourites. It
was great to receive feedback from
authors Serena Patel and Majeet
Mann in response to Halima and
Amelia’s words about their work.
Mrs Holden held assemblies for girls
in Years 7-10 where she celebrated
women who inspire us today and
in the past, and after lunch a panel
of female staff held a talk and Q&A
session with Year 7 students focusing
on the career pathways that have led
to their current roles in school.
The theme for this year’s
International Women’s Day was
#BreakTheBias and throughout the
day students enjoyed a celebration
of women’s achievement and a
chance to talk about and raise
awareness against gender bias.
