 Natalie HUTCHINS (Sydenham – Minister for Education, Minister for Women) (11:09): I was really delighted to be able to visit Copperfield College last week in recognition of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, a United Nations-sponsored day that celebrates and promotes women and girls in the field of STEM. Copperfield certainly has some amazing STEM facilities and teachers, and I was fascinated to see young women in action, who took me through the science experiments that they were doing at school. The school also has a fantastic robotics club, and half of the members of that club are girls. The future is looking bright.
