Awards Season Has Begun at HMEF HQ! Our first stop…Melbourne!

Together we can change lives

 

We had the joy of celebrating 68 incredible Year 9 scholars from Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The day was packed with inspiration, learning and meaningful connections!

Highlights of the event included:

  • Hosted by our dynamic alumnae Chloe McCormick & Makayla Witte, with Dawnellen Batkin leading a powerful fireside chat.
  • Fireside Chat Guest: The brilliant Dr Ranjana Srivastava OAM—oncologist, award-winning writer, and recipient of the Medal of the Order of Australia.
  • Workshop: The incredible Annelise McCarthy, whose session on confidence & public speaking left a lasting impact.
  • Entertainment: A breathtaking performance by the Australian Girls Choir.
