A few weeks ago, a group of keen SAC students attended an offsite panel discussion called ‘Women in Creative Industries.’ Featuring our very own old-scholar and actor/writer/director Katherine Sortini, the panel comprised of students from all-girls schools across Adelaide also including a fashion designer, a musician, a glass blower and a local politician. The event was an informative and inspiring discussion of each woman’s journey into the arts and related industries. Student comments are below:
“Going to an all-girls Catholic School I have always been told that I could be ‘anything I want to be’ and to not let another’s pre-convinced notion about you stop you from pursuing what you love. It was great to hear this ethos reflected in the speakers on the panel, and that they had also greatly benefited from an all-girls Catholic education too.” Alexa Bageas, Year 11
“The women in creative industries session held at OLSH college was very insightful to hear about everyone’s experiences within their careers and lives beyond school. I enjoyed hearing about everyone’s greatest experiences and fondest memories from school that shaped their lives currently.” Isabella Clark, Year 11
“At the event, I found that a lot of the stories told by the panellists related to what we may be going through as students picking our subjects for the next few years. I found it inspiring how resilient they were and how creative and confident they were.” Amy Branson, Year 10
“I learnt about the challenges women face within the creative arts and how they have overcome them. It was also good to learn about how the women got into their industries, who inspired them and how they were encouraged by their teachers.” Grace Kennedy, Year 10
