Attendees commented on how inspiring
the event was, with Candice de Casanove,
a teacher of Helensvale State High School
saying “It was an amazing and inspirational
morning.”, whilst Laura Keating, Principal of
Clairvaux MacKillop College also said “It was
great. Students were very impressed as were
colleagues... We’ll be back!”
The breakfast also allowed the opportunity for
a number of Rising Stars to be acknowledged
for their sporting achievements and supported
encouraged to continue to strive for their
goals with each Rising Star receiving a
personal training package from sponsor
Acceleration.
The Inaugural UQ HMS HPE Inspirational
Teacher Award was presented to Kerry
Styles of Benowa State High School, for her
dedication to encouraging and inspiring
young female athletes for the past 33 years.
Kerry demonstrated a unique leadership,
dedication, the ability to inspire over a very
close field of nominees. This award was a
special addition to the Breakfast Program –
designed to highlight and recognise the HPE
teachers for the often very influential and
inspiring role they have in the lives of female
students.
The breakfast could not have been a success
without the support of our sponsors the
Department of Communities, Sport and
Recreation Services, UQ School of Human
Movement Studies, 2XU, Channel Seven,
Lulu Lemon, The Brisbane Convention
and Exhibition Centre, Acceleration and
Talbot Press, as well as many of our other
supporters.
