Last night Miss Knight was lucky enough to attend the Women’s Empowerment Awards 2018 at Barking’s\u00a0Broadway Theatre. This was the\u00a0fourth ceremony and was hosted in order to celebrate the outstanding achievements of women in our borough, it was a fitting contribution to a year of celebrations marking the centenary of female suffrage. Councillor Darren Rodwell began the night’s award ceremony followed by keynote speeches from Dany Cotton, commissioner of the London Fire Brigade and Dawn Wylie, Land Director of Western Holmes Plc. Awards were presented for: Female parent or carer of the year, female volunteer of the year, women’s community group of the year, young woman of the year, business women of the year and outstanding woman of the year. <\/sub><\/p>\n

It was truly inspirational to see the amazing women that work and live in this borough. Sponsors of the evening, Bouygues UK also mentioned the painted hoardings of “Famous women from Barking”\u00a0that\u00a0our school’s very own Art Club have made and which have now been erected along Kind Edward’s Road and St Marys. In addition to this, Kris Eglitis, one of our Year 9 pupils, took part in the evening’s entertainment, performing as part of the Barking and Dagenham Youth Dance group. There was a clear message from the evening: no matter what your ethnicity, creed or gender you can achieve your goals if you continue to work hard and believe in your goals.\u00a0<\/sub><\/p>\n
