Toorak Chat

Toorak Chat is a podcast created by staff and students at Toorak College in Mount Eliza, Victoria. One of our school values is Personal Growth, so we decided to document and share some empowering stories from some remarkable women across sport, business, fashion, art and more. Hosted by Principal of Toorak College, Kristy Kendall, Head of Digital Technologies Phil Carew and Marketing Assistant Jessica Poulter and co-hosted by our Year 11 Media students Mia Tikellis, Hannah Shippen and Alexa Rozakis.
