Australian Tour 2023

Join us on our journey Down Under

We are excited to come back to Australia and share all the wonderful stories and updates from The School of St Jude. A delegation led by St Jude’s Founder and Director, Gemma Sisia, will be touring Australia for the first time in two years. The 2023 Australian Tour also brings our newest book; The School That Hope Built.

Gemma is bringing along one of our earliest alumni, Enock, who is currently working in St Jude's Alumni team, as well as the author of the book, Maddie. Check out our itinerary and event schedule to find out where and when our delegation will be speaking. We look forward to reconnecting with you!
