Beyond the Bear Pit: SGHS Alumnae Fireside Chat
Remember your first day at Sydney Girls, walking through the gates with a heart full of anticipation, wearing your snazzy brown shoes?
Years later, every one of us has taken a different road, with highs, lows and plenty of unexpected turns.
Beyond the Bear Pit is a new gathering for SGHS alumnae to reconnect, swap stories and support each other on the journey after the bell.
At our first event, four alumnae from very different worlds will share honest stories. They’ll talk about where they started, the people and moments that shaped them, and what they’re still curious about today.
Speakers
Verena Lim: CEO of Macquarie Asia and Co-head of MAM Infrastructure APAC
Dr Sonali Gnanenthiran: Cardiologist at Concord Repatriation General Hospital, with 50+ publications and $18.5m+ in funded research
Megan Riakos: Writer and filmmaker, Australian Directors’ Guild Award nominee, and co-founder of Women in Film and Television (WIFT) Australia
Hosted by Delia Deng, Founding Head of Growth at Atrium and Forbes 30 Under 30 honouree
Warmly supported by Principal Rachel Powell, Comms & Publicity Manager Carolin Nimrich, and your favourite teachers from SGHS
