To all grade 8 girls attending Malvern September 2016, you are invited to Malvern’s 6th Annual Grade 8 Girls Conference organized and brought to you by Malvern’s Young Women’s Empowerment Group!
The Grade 8 Girls Conference is a day conference where all the girls from neighbouring elementary and middle schools have the opportunity to come to Malvern and get to know the school a little bit better. Our main mission of the conference however is to provide an environment for girls to feel welcomed and empowered. We hope that the girls leave the Conference feeling confident, excited and empowered as they prepare to transition from grade 8 to high school life.
The girls will enjoy a day full of activities including this year’s keynote speaker, Aimee Beeston. Aimee Beeston is an amazing woman who has made her mark in the business world by leading the Olympic Nike Campaign as well as launching the Nike Women’s category within Canada. Today she continues to “set the world on fire” working with Girls 20 in running Bootcamp for Brains: a week long program which looks to inspire and empower the female youth of Canada to be successful leaders of tomorrow. All the grade 8 girls can expect an interesting keynote from Aimee surrounding the idea of Empowerment. After the keynote, the grade 8 girls will attend 2 workshops of their choice.
Below you will see a schedule for the day, including arrival and departure times. Attached are little blurbs concerning the workshops YWEG is facilitating this year. To make the conference as enjoyable as possible for our Grade 8 Girls we require ALL Grade 8 Girls attending to read the blurbs, and then log onto the Google Form,

and select their top 4 choices. Not only does this help to make the afternoon as amazing and beneficial as possible, it also helps us to identify which girls and schools will be attending. As well we ask that the Teacher planning on bringing the girls from each school respond, acknowledging that they will be coming with their girls.
Thank you very much and we hope to see you for a fun filled day of empowerment!
Sincerely,
Malvern CI’s Young Women’s Empowerment Group
