EVERYDAY POWER: WOMEN’S SAFETY & SELF DEFENCE WORKSHOPS

Between Saturday 7 March 2026 and Sunday 8 March 2026

At Queen Margaret College, celebrating and empowering women isn’t something we reserve for one day a year- it’s part of who we are, every day. In that spirit, we are delighted to announce our Everyday Power: Women’s Safety & Self Defence Workshops, running this March in alignment with International Women’s Day (IWD). WHO SHOULD ATTEND? These sessions are open to all members of our QMC whānau, including: • Students in Years 7–13 • Mothers, aunties, grandmothers, cousins, caregivers • Alumni, friends, and QMC staff • Individuals or groups- come on your own, with friends, or as a mother– daughter or family pair! Please note: For younger students (Years 7-9), we strongly recommend the attend with a parent or adult caregiver. Sessions for younger QMC students will also be held in Term 2 and 3 as part of the Queen's Edge and Junior School afterschool programmes. WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND We believe every girl and woman deserves to feel confident, safe, and in control– wherever they are. These workshops build real world skills to help participants: • Navigate public spaces confidently • Recognise and respond to unsafe or uncomfortable situations • Protect personal boundaries • Use effective physical movements for self defence • Safely exit a situation and seek help • Strengthen confidence, resilience, and situational awareness. WHY THESE SESSIONS MATTER Regular incidents in Wellington and beyond remind us that girls and women still face moments where safety, comfort, or personal boundaries may be compromised - on public transport, on Courtenay Place, at social gatherings, or simply walking home. While we hope none of us - ever face such moments, being equipped makes a difference: in awareness, in action, and in confidence. ABOUT THE CLASS - THREE HOUR DURATION WITH REST BREAKS These workshops offer a practical, supportive environment where participants learn: • Verbal strategies • Body language techniques • Awareness and prevention tools • Simple, effective self defence movements • How to stay safe in real world scenarios Designed for all ages and abilities, these sessions are safe, empowering, and deeply confidence building. ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS The workshops are led by Wil and the expert team at Tactical Survival Academy (Krav Maga). Their teaching is grounded in lived experience, real world scenarios, and a deep commitment to empowering girls and women. Since founding Tactical Survival in 2008, master instructor Wil and his team have trained thousands of New Zealanders, including members of the NZ Defence Force, members of the NZ Police, medical staff, diplomats, security professionals, and people with no prior experience with self-protection techniques. WHAT TO BRING TO YOUR WORKSHOP SESSION A light snack, a water bottle and comfortable clothing suitable for movement
