Our students at Tasmanian sports breakfast

Seven Year 10 girls attended the Womensport and Recreation Tasmania Schoolgirls Breakfast at Blundstone Arena to celebrate the contributions of women in sport, while discussing issues and challenges faced in everyday life and sharing stories, experiences and achievements.

Eloise Southby, netball commentator, former Diamond and Melbourne Phoenix player, was MC. Melanie Irons delivered the keynote speech at the breakfast. Melanie has a successful personal training business, has recently completed a PhD in psychology and is passionate about health, fitness and achieving balance and happiness.

Our students found both Eloise and Melanie engaging and inspiring and thoroughly enjoyed listening to their stories of both success and failure.

After the breakfast the girls were invited to participate in mini-sports clinics conducted Football Federation Tasmania, Cricket Tasmania and NRL/Touch Football Tasmania.
