More than 100 Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander girls from across Australia will meet & hear inspirational speakers.

Canobolas Girls Academy Program Manager Nikita Mason said the Summit is: “A fantastic opportunity to bring together Year 12 Girls Academy students from across Australia.”

Kirra , a Year 12, said: “I am so excited to go! I love to teach younger students new skills, new ways of working together and to achieve one common goal in moving forward with our generation. My biggest inspiration is the Girls Academy at my school, they take me in to help me with my assessments and general things that come up, they always have time to talk and guide me in the right direction.”
