Student Achievement
Youth of the Year Award Nomination
28 July
Congratulations to Year 10 student Breanna Gale, for recently being nominated for the City of Ballarat, Youth of the Year Awards, under Leadership in Sport.
Towards the end of last year, Breanna was coaching a junior basketball team – the Ballarat Wildcats, through Zoom and they have since nominated her for this very special award.
Breanna said that she feels very grateful to be nominated and will continue to contribute to the community and her basketball club.
“I created the online coaching clinic during lock-down to keep kids active and happy,” she said.
“I first got involved in basketball five years ago when I joined an under 14 team and two years after that I began coaching. Since then I have coached from ages U/8’ s – U/16’s.”
"After I finish at Damascus, I’m hoping to go to Uni to study teaching, as being a teacher is something I’ve always wanted to do and coaching kids has definitely contributed to that."
Good luck for the award ceremony in mid-August Breanna, and keep up the fantastic work.
