Grace Tame - Community Address

Iona College, in conjunction with the Iona Old Boys Association,
invite and welcome Australian of the Year, Grace Tame, to the Bayside.

 

Date:	Thursday 5 August 2021
Time:	7pm to 8pm

After being groomed and raped by her maths teacher when she was just 15 years old,
Grace Tame is now an advocate for survivors of child sexual abuse and a leader of positive change.

Her focus is around enabling survivors to tell their stories without shame, educating the public
around the lasting effects of grooming and working to ensure we have a legal system that supports
survivors, not just perpetrators.

An open book about her experience, but even more passionate about preventing this from happening
to other children, Grace speaks from the heart and will have her audience simultaneously inspired and in tears.
 

~ Grace is a survivor of child sexual abuse – her story is a confronting one and as such we are
advising that the evening presentation is best suited for an adult audience. If older teenagers are
present, they must be accompanied by a parent / carer ~
