Time: 6pm-8:30pm
Place: Shalom College Performing Arts Precinct
After the success of last year’s ‘Empowering Women – Breakfast’, we are looking to go bigger and better this year with an Empowering Women’s Evening, held on Monday 13 May (the day after Mother’s Day).
6:00-8:30pm
Shalom College Performing Arts Precinct
The evening will feature a one-on-one interview with Libby Trickett, one of Australia‘s Swimming Golden Girls, and interviewer Scott Lamond (Chief of Staff at ABC Wide Bay).
Libby collected 24 gold medals on the international stage across Olympic, Commonwealth Games and World Championships events. This included eight long course and seven short course world titles, five Commonwealth Games and four Olympic gold medals which were won at three consecutive Olympic Games. Since retiring from swimming, she has become a passionate mental health advocate, written her memoir, Beneath the Surface, become a TEDx Speaker, and is the host of multiple podcasts, talking about sport in different ways – from how to keep kids in sport to elite athletes transitioning into life after their sporting career, and another podcast on the Mamamia media network called This Glorious Mess. Most importantly, she has her hands full, running after her four young children, Poppy, Edwina, Bronte, and Alfie.
A perfect gift for Mother's Day, or a chance to attend this event with friends, all welcome, male or female.
Tickets $35-45pp + booking fees
The evening will include drinks and canapés in the Foyer from 6pm, then from 7pm guests will move into the Theatre to see keynote speaker, Libby Trickett.
Tickets include a drink on arrival and canapés.
All students, parents, staff and members of the community are welcome to attend.
