07 APR 2025 Careers Update

International Women's Day

Our female student leaders were lucky to participate in the Land Engineering Agency (LEA) STEM day, hosted by the Defence Force. The event showcased the variety of STEM careers within the LEA. Our students were fortunate enough to speak with leading female STEM professionals, gain knowledge about testing, acquisition and sustainment of land material and to ride in Defence vehicles. The girls had an amazing day with a unique insight into careers within the Defence force. (Photo: Mr Widdicombe, Ashleigh, Isabella, Jessica, Grace,, Anabel, Jaymie, Biannca, Ms Pendlebury)
