International Women’s Day

This week the college celebrated International Women’s Day (IWD) with activities hosted at lunch time on Wednesday and Thursday as well as a breakfast hosted for student leaders and staff on Friday morning.

IWD focuses on celebrating a world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination, a world that is diverse, equitable and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. The theme for this year is “Accelerate Action” and MWSC is proud to celebrate and promote female achievements especially those of our school community.
