Kathryn shared her inspiring journey from a passion for design to building one of New Zealand’s most recognisable fashion brands. Her reflections on creativity, perseverance and entrepreneurship resonated strongly with the audience, while her authenticity, energy and enthusiasm made a lasting impression on all who attended.

A highlight of the event was the opportunity for students to share breakfast with a “champion” in their own lives. This refreshed format reflects our commitment to ensuring every girl can enjoy this special experience alongside a significant person, whether that be a parent, caregiver, family member or another important adult who has supported and encouraged them.

The morning was filled with lively conversation, meaningful connections and a wonderful sense of community. It was heartening to see so many students and guests coming together to celebrate the people who inspire and champion them every day.

We are grateful to Kathryn Wilson for sharing her time and insights, and to everyone who joined us for this memorable event.
