What a way to celebrate International Women's Day! School Captain Lily Kenway won the Leadership Award at the International Women’s Day Youth Leadership Breakfast held at Northcliffe Surf Life Saving Club this morning. This is the biggest award given on the day - Lily gave an impromptu speech upon receipt of the award and was also interviewed by Channel 9. Year 12 student Leah Davidson also took out the Sports Leadership Award. And Year 12 students Stefanie Allocca and Maddie Stephens each also received first runner up in their categories of Social Justice and Performing Arts respectively. Penelope Lovett, who was nominated in the category of Community Service, is also participating in the Lions Youth of the Year Award and has made it to the Regional Round of that competition. Congratulations girls! We wish all the wonderful women and girls in our All Saints community a very happy International Women's Day.

This week, four All Saints students and three past students are competing for selection into the 2018 Commonwealth Games Swim Team.

We'll be streaming the action live on the big screen in the media hub of the Middle/Senior Library. Or you can tune into the livestream via the Swimming Australia website to cheer them on!
