On the occasion of International Women's Day, we took the opportunity this year to honor and recognize the contribution of our talented female teachers of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM). These women have made remarkable achievements in their respective fields and are inspiring role models for our students.
For a long time, science and technology fields were seen as male-dominated areas. However, in recent years, women have made significant strides in STEM careers, breaking down gender barriers and making a mark in traditionally male-dominated fields. Despite this progress, there is still a long way to go in achieving gender equality in STEAM.
According to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. This gender disparity is particularly evident in the fields of engineering and computer science, where the percentage of women is even lower.
Having female STEAM teachers is crucial to adress this gender gap, they are not only inspiring role models for young girls but also provide them mentorship and support.
Ladies, you can be very proud of your career path and achievements!
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” Here at Champittet, we know that inspiring children to dream big while envisioning their future is a core part of education. It’s also the focus of Dare All Trades Day, or JOM (Journée Oser tous les Métiers).
The Winter Ball is an eagerly awaited annual tradition here at Champittet, but this year brought a twist: the school’s first ever Masquerade Ball. With the theme “Black and Gold, don’t forget your mask!”, this year’s winter dance was organised by 14th-grade IB students, and the event was open to students in grades 9 and 10.
Who says summer is far away? Registration is now open for the Champittet Leadership Camp!
