Inspire - Igniting Curiosity, One Idea at a time
John Paul College is proud to host a TEDxJPC event, joining the global movement committed to sharing “ideas worth spreading.” This special evening will provide a select group of students and staff with the opportunity to present their inspiring ideas, explore thought-provoking concepts, and contribute to a strong culture of learning and leadership.
Featuring John Paul College students, students from other local secondary schools, and two John Paul College alumni, the event will highlight ideas designed to spark critical thinking, creativity, and meaningful conversation.
Each speaker has been carefully selected to share a unique and compelling perspective, and we look forward to welcoming the College and wider local community to this inspiring event.

Women's Health: Show Me the Money!
Women’s health continues to be significantly underrepresented in medical research, with serious conditions often receiving less funding, slower diagnosis pathways, and fewer treatment options compared to other areas of medicine. This imbalance raises urgent questions about how research priorities are set - and who they are really serving.
In her talk, Abigail explores why these gaps exist in medical research and funding, and what needs to change to ensure healthcare systems better reflect and support over half the global population.
