According to the gold mining company, the award is in line with their inclusion value to support girls in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

The company has also said that supporting women in the STEM disciplines would contribute significantly to efforts in advancing the inclusion of women in male-dominated fields such as mining.

Wesley Girls were denied a place in the grand finale of the competition by 2018 Champions, St. Peter’s Senior High School.
