I'm doing Hoops4Schools and fundraising for The BUSY School

1 in 5 young Australians are disengaged from school. That’s thousands of students at risk of dropping out, often held back by things like bullying, mental health challenges or tough times at home.

Mainstream school isn’t built for everyone. But no one should be left behind.

That’s why I’m stepping up for the Hoops4Schools Challenge. For 20 days, from 15 August to 4 September, I’ll be sinking hoops and raising funds for The BUSY School, who give young people a second chance to reconnect, belong and succeed.

Every hoop I sink is a call for change. Every dollar raised supports flexible education, tailored support and brighter futures for those who need it most.

Education is a game-changer. Let’s get every student off the sidelines!
