🌟 Celebrating an Inspiring International Women’s Day! 🌟
What an absolutely incredible morning! Soroptimist International Townsville Breakwater — together with our wonderful partners at Ignatius Park College — were proud to host a powerful, joy‑filled celebration for International Women’s Day 2026. We were blown away by the energy, connection and generosity in the room. 💜
✨ A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Guest Speaker
A huge and very special thank‑you to Lieutenant Colonel Gabrielle Taylor, whose keynote address left the room buzzing with inspiration. Her story of leadership and service was deeply moving, and we are so grateful she joined us to mark this important day. We will certainly be looking at all of the new ‘beginnings and opportunities to grab with both hands and give things a go!
