Koonung Secondary College

In Term 1, we delivered a 3-module program focused on building leadership in teenage girls. In collaboration with Mattel, we invited female role models who have years of experience in leadership to come and inspire these girls. The girls enjoyed speed networking sessions with role models, and came out more motivated to become leaders!
