The Modern Young Lady™ — Feilding Premiere is a confidence- and self-esteem-focused three-hour finishing school experience created especially for young ladies aged 13–17.
Led by international etiquette expert and published author Susie Barber, the workshop introduces modern skills that help a young woman feel confident, composed, and comfortable in herself—at school, socially, and as she prepares for adulthood.
The morning will explore modern manners, first impressions, communication, social confidence, dining etiquette, personal presentation and the value of treating both yourself and others with respect.
This is not about becoming someone else. It is about giving young women practical skills, confidence and poise while encouraging them to retain their own individuality and personality.
Each attendee receives:
• Three hours of personal instruction
• Refreshments
• Printed workshop materials
• Certificate of completion
• A signed copy of Modern Manners by Susie Barber
Early Bird: $79 until 31 August 2026
Standard Admission: $89
Places are deliberately limited to maintain a personal, supportive learning environment.
For young ladies aged 13–17.
