August is Women’s Month and we celebrate the influence, passion, achievement and contributions of women to the advancement of South African society. In this, our Centenary year, we would like to empower, equip, inspire and introduce our current students to the myriad areas of industry, academe, public and private sector involvement, NPOs, NGOs and entrepreneurship in which many women have, and continue, to contribute.

We would love to invite you to Herschel to share your journeys, life lessons, wisdom, successes, failures, challenges, and authentic selves with our current students in a workshop-style morning, culminating in refreshments. The power and impact of the relationship, shared experiences and connection knows no bounds and in terms of fostering a more cohesive Herschel community, we hope that this will be the start of an ongoing annual shared experience.

When: Friday 12 August 2022
Where: Herschel Senior School Campus
How: 3 sessions (from 10:00 – 12:25) with different students on rotation.

How will it work?
