Keynote Announcement

We have had a recent change to our End of Year Celebration and Graduation keynote address, and are pleased to announce our speaker is Mary Crooks AO.

Mary led the Victorian Women’s Trust as Executive Director for nearly three decades and is a champion for civic participation and gender equality, known for shaping landmark initiatives including the Purple Sage Project, Our Watermark Australia, and the Breakthrough for Gender Equality Conference. In 2012, she was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia for her distinguished service to public policy and the advancement of women.

We look forward to welcoming Alumni, partners, supporters, and community members from across our region to enjoy the evening, including a two-course sit-down meal, opportunities to connect, and reflections on the undertakings of the year.
