James Hargest Students Shine at GirlBoss 2025
This year, several James Hargest College students participated in and excelled at the prestigious GirlBoss 2025 programs, demonstrating their talent and dedication to technology, innovation, and social impact.
Aria Emms (Year 12) and Koshitha Kaumadi Kohomange (Year 11) took part in the "GirlBoss Edge: Sustainability" program in April, an online course focused on climate action and STEM.
Koshitha Kaumadi Kohomange (Year 13) and Preethi Ravindran (Year 11) were selected for the "GirlBoss Edge: Tech for Good" accelerator, a 10-day online program designed for young women passionate about technology and social impact in the July holidays.
Amanda Henderson attended "We the Women," a hackfest in Auckland during July Holidays where she and her team developed tech-based solutions for gender equality. She called the experience "life-changing" and gained valuable skills in teamwork and pitching.
I was selected to attend We the Women, a groundbreaking two-day hackfest run by GirlBoss NZ at Spark HQ in Auckland. Alongside 100 other young women aged 17–25, I worked in a team to develop tech-based solutions to real-world issues aligned with UN Global Goal #5 – Gender Equality. It was the most valuable experience; collaborating with women from such diverse backgrounds and experience levels was truly life-changing. I gained a deeper understanding of what it takes to be an effective team member, how to turn an idea into a viable pitch, and built connections that will stay with me. I highly recommend We the Women to any girl in STEM—it’s an inspiring and empowering experience. ~ Amanda Henderson (Year 13)
