Inaugural International Coalition of Girls' Schools Event

Dr Archard began the discussion with an overview of current statistics from around the world reflecting the continued inequity of women and girls in society. Dr Scott spoke of inspiring women who have broken new ground in our lifetimes, and the important role girls' schools can play in challenging social norms.

Last year the three global girls’ education organisations representing Australasia, United Kingdom, and USA/Canada amalgamated into one global organisation representing 550 girls’ schools across all educational sectors in 22 countries.

The vision statement of ICGS is one which certainly aligns with our vision and mission at Loreto Kirribilli. The ICGS vision statement indicates:

“We are united in elevating women’s leadership worldwide by educating and empowering our students to be ethical, globally minded changemakers.”
