Earlier this year, the HPE staff had the ability to nominate two year 10 students for the Australian Olympic Change-Maker program, which aims to recognise students from across Australia who demonstrate the Olympic spirit – friendship, sportsmanship and striving for excellence - both on and off the playing field, through leadership and driving positive change in their school and local communities. 

As a school we nominated Zoe and Kobe as it was felt that they exhibited the Olympic Spirit the best within our year 10 group. As a part of their nomination, Zoe and Kobe were required to submit a video detailing how they best demonstrated the Olympic Spirit, with each video from around Australia being reviewed by the programs committee with the top 20 students being invited to the National Change-Maker forum at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra.

We are excited and proud to announce that Kobe has been selected as one of the 20 students to attend the National forum, where he will meet and hear from past and present Australian Olympic athletes, work with the other students invited and get to experience the AIS facilities first hand. This is a great reward for Kobe and for all of the hard work that he has put in this year both on and off the sporting field. 

Congratulations Kobe
