As part of International Women’s Day (IWD) celebrations, 15 of our senior girls attended an Australian Defence Force (ADF) Careers Event at Lil Miss Collins in Parramatta. The theme of this year’s IWD was #MarchForward: It's time to turn promises into progress.
The Australian Defence Force (ADF) offers unique employment opportunities for high-performing young women eager to challenge themselves, make quick decisions and inspire those around them. Students discovered the rewards of working in the ADF and the variety of roles they may thrive in. On the day, enjoy light catering, hear from guest speakers and have your questions answered.
Students were able to hear from current serving women in the ADF. They highlighted their experience and provided insights on how being in the ADF fits with their lifestyle, study, work and family commitments. The presenters thrilled our students with their passion and inspiring presentations. The main Guest Speaker was a Commander, supported by an Able Seaman, Aircraft Woman and two other defence force women.
Students learnt, that as an Officer, in the ADF, they’d be challenged to be a leader, a quick decision-maker and a motivator. The Navy, Army and Air Force have numerous roles available, ranging across many different specialties including engineering, aviation and logistics.
The ADF IWD Morning Tea gave students the opportunity to network with Defence leaders about their experiences in management positions and life in Defence.
Thank you to our hosts at Lil Miss Collins in Parramatta who presented our students with a spectacular Morning tea feast:
