OLYMPIC GAMES- WILDERNESS WOMEN IN SPORT
We will honour our old scholar Olympians and Women in Sport to celebrate the Paris Olympic Games throughout August.

Molly Goodman (2010) will represent Australia at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games in Rowing. This is Molly’s third Olympic Games.

Georgina Parker (2006), an Australian rules footballer and former field hockey player for the Hockeyroos, represented Australia at the Commonwealth Games (Gold Medal) and the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Georgie has a double degree in Journalism and is currently in Paris as a commentator.

Please visit our display in Brown House during August as we celebrate our Women in Sport.

140 DAYS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
It is not too late to support our 140th annual appeal.

In our 140th year, we invite you to donate to Wilderness so we can continue to provide an exemplary education to girls in preparation for their futures. No gift is too small.

All donations to our scholarship and building funds are fully tax-deductible.
