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!My Achievements

Working as a teacher at BUSY School Strathpine isn’t just my job - it is my passion. Every day I have the privilege of supporting senior students, who’ve faced challenges in traditional schooling, to rediscover their potential and carve out a future they can be proud of.
There’s nothing quite like watching a student charge across the finish line of their senior schooling journey, QCE in hand. Seeing them explore apprenticeships and traineeships—often for the first time with genuine excitement—is so exciting. These pathways aren’t just career options; they’re lifelines to independence, confidence, and purpose.
To be part of their story is an honour I don’t take lightly. I’m grateful every single day to stand beside these young people, cheering them on as they take bold steps toward life after school.
One key annual event that helps support our students is the Hoops4Schools challenge, our major fundraising initiative. This program helps us continue our work with disengaged students, providing resources, mentorship, and opportunities that truly change lives. If you’d like to be part of the fun, visit www.hoops4schools.com.au and consider lending your support. You can join as an individual, make a donation or corporate team!
Together, we can keep the momentum going—and ensure every student has the chance to thrive. Let’s keep the bounce in their step and the hope in their hearts. #Hoops4Schools #BUSYSchoolStrathpine #EducationMatters #SupportOurStudents
