St Andrew’s Cathedral School: Celebrating Women in STEM

On the UNESCO International Day of Girls and Women in STEM, SACS celebrated our exceptional female staff in the science, mathematics and TAS departments and talented students. Today is a salient reminder that our girls and the next generation of women will play a critical role in scientific solutions to future problems and their participation should be strengthened.
Celebrating the 20th anniversary, UNESCO is focusing on their Call to Action “Closing the Gender Gap in Science”, where they are exploring the critical role of women in STEM and discussing the need for inclusive media representation to challenge gender stereotypes.
At SACS we are inquiring into how to continue to nurture female students in STEM, and we are so lucky to be blessed with creative, innovative and empowering minds who are pioneering the future in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
It is important that we recognise girls and women in STEM not just today, but every day, empowering and encouraging girls and women to help us create a better future.
