Dear Parents and Community
Thursday, 8th March, was International Women’s Day. The campaign theme for 2018 is:
#PressforProgress
This is because it will take (on the current World Economic Forum’s research) 200 years for gender
parity or gender equality. https://www.internationalwomensday.com/About
International Women's Day is a collective day of global celebration and a call for gender parity. No
one government, NGO, charity, corporation, academic institution, women's network or media hub is
solely responsible for International Women's Day.
"The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organisation but to the collective
efforts of all who care about human rights," says world-renowned feminist, journalist and social and political activist Gloria
Steinem.
Thus International Women's Day is all about unity, celebration, reflection, advocacy and action - whatever that looks like
globally or at a local level. But one thing is for sure, International Women's Day has been occurring for well over a century -
and continues to grow from strength to strength.
Please go to https://www.internationalwomensday.com/PressforProgress and Press for Progress. Thank you to all parents who came to the school on a very wet Tuesday evening for our first parent information event about goal setting. I have attached one of the links I spoke about on Tuesday that may be of assistance to all parents and carers. https://www.learningpotential.gov.au/
As always please contact me at the school if you have any questions in regards to your child’s education at NHHS.
My highlight of the fortnight:
Our first 6 to 7 Orientation Day for our 2019 Year 7 cohort last Friday. Over 100 students from FPVC Public, Nambucca
Heads Public, Macksville Primary and St Patrick’s filled the school and participated in a number of science experiments that
gave them a taste of what high school will be like. Thanks to the Year 9 and 10 students and other staff who helped Ms
