Where Empowerment Starts Campaign Image

Somerville House has released a powerful new digital and print campaign promoting the South Brisbane Day and Boarding School for Girls offering empowering educational opportunities for young females.

 

The ‘Where Empowerment Starts’ campaign is spearheaded by an emotive TV commercial and online trailer showcasing the range of empowering opportunities that Somerville House offers to young females of the future.  The TV commercial, directed by James Kable (Fox Hole Films) and  Declan Sinclair (DOP), will be rolled out via social media and On Demand TV (BVOD).  Southbank Cineplex will run the commercial during trailer advertising across the Easter school holidays, with static imagery featured across print media, public transport advertising, shopping centre signage and roadside billboards.

 

The full-scale production featuring Somerville House students (and their voices) from Pre-Prep to Year 12 was shot over three full days at the Somerville House campus and the School sporting grounds at Rocklea, SomerFields.

 

The new campaign is the first since the School launched the Create Her Own Story messaging in 2021. The new ‘empowerment’ campaign promoting the School and its community to prospective families, is the first since the commissioning of the new Principal, Dr Sandra Hastie, and is publicised as the School celebrates its 125-year anniversary.

 

“We put girls first. We have been developing students’ talents and empowering young women for 125 years. The opportunities that Somerville House offers are truly world-class and we remain steadfastly committed to providing high-quality teaching in a forward-thinking, diverse and nurturing environment. Where girls can be themselves, develop a wide range of skills and thrive during their formative years. " - Dr Sandra Hastie (Principal)

ANU’s $2 million wage theft admission more evidence of broken system

The National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) has called for urgent national action after the Australian National University became the latest institution embroiled in a wage theft scandal.

ANU also may not have been paying up to 130 staff on-call allowances when they worked in emergencies. With wage theft rampant across higher education, the NTEU is calling for federal action to address insecure work and a broken governance system that have allowed the practice to be baked into universities’…
