The University of Queensland welcomed senior high-school netballers from Ipswich, Darwin and Alice Springs as part of Netball Queensland’s Diamond Spirit program.
Diamond Spirit uses netball as a vehicle to empower Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander youth from remote and regional communities, while encouraging and rewarding healthy living and engagement in education.
UQ Pro Vice-Chancellor (Indigenous Engagement) Professor Bronwyn Fredericks said the Diamond Spirit program was a great Netball Queensland initiative because of its potential to inspire youth from communities across Australia to become future leaders and role models for their peers.
