Girls reprise rap to celebrate International Women's Day!

Emily and Imogen reprised their creative rap in an assembly on International Women’s Day. Their rap, which won the recent Balloon Debate, celebrated Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, former President of Iceland, who was the world's first democratically elected female president. With a presidency of exactly sixteen years, she also remains the longest-serving elected female head of state of any country to date. 

Our Head Girl and other day and boarding prefects presented whole school assembly on several international female politicians whom they find inspirational and explained why these role models might inspire younger students also.
