International Women’s Day Celebrated At Ayr State High School

Ayr State High School proudly participated in this year’s International Women’s Day celebrations, with eight students and staff attending a special brunch hosted by Zonta Club Burdekin Inc. Zonta, a global organisation, is dedicated to building a better world for women and girls.

The school congratulates Year 11 students Caitlyn Cheyne and Tiana Cameron, who were honoured with STEM acknowledgement awards at the event. This recognition encourages and supports young women pursuing careers that make a difference in the world.

Guest speakers included Sarah Chapman, CEO of STEM Changemakers, and Dr Tracey Ahern, a nursing and women’s health advocate—both distinguished Ayr State High School alumni. Their inspiring stories provided valuable insights and motivation for the next generation of young women.
