Entrepreneurs share their knowledge

We were delighted to welcome a stellar cast of keynote ex-student speakers to our 2026 Entrepreneurs' Day, a chance for Year 9 students to be inspired by smart, enterprising women and hear practical advice about starting a business and applying for jobs.

Thank you to our keynote speaker Simone Longworth (’11) founder of the Birthday Fairy, and workshop presenters Giorgia Rossi (’05), founder of Possum Play; Anna Babidge (’00), Founder of Earthlings United; Sophie Henderson-Smart (’97), founder of luxury swimwear brand Saint Somebody; best-selling novelist Cassie Hamer (’93); Shelley Wales (’87), graphic designer and abstract artist; and Jessica Woodward (’12), Director and coach of sparring gym Flow Sparring.

It was an inspiring day where the students heard about the challenges and rewards of running a business and the importance of maintaining a strong network.
