A rising young cricket star from Holy Cross Catholic School at Kincumber has been spoken about in Federal Parliament.
Elizabeth Brannan, who is a member of the Kincumber-Avoca Cricket Club, was recently awarded the Girls Encouragement Award, following her sportsmanship during the Master Blasters program.
Member for Robertson Gordon Reid recognised this achievement by speaking about her in the House of Representatives.
Reid said it was excellent to see young people get involved in sport.
“I would like to congratulate Elizabeth Brannan on her sporting award and for her participation in cricket on the Central Coast,” Reid told Parliament.
“We know what the benefits of regular exercise are and how involvement in sport can increase concentration at school and strengthen interpersonal skills.
“It is great to be told about local sporting achievements, like Elizabeth’s, and to be able to recognise them in the Australian Parliament.”
Reid attended a school assembly to present Elizabeth with a copy of his speech, which has now been recorded in Hansard.
“I visited Holy Cross Catholic School during its regular Friday assembly and presented Elizabeth with a copy of my speech in front of teachers, students, and parents,” he said.
“I made sure Elizabeth’s parents, David and Salina Brannan, were notified in advance so they could see their daughter recognised.”
Reid frequently recognises community members who have demonstrated extraordinary achievements in a range of categories.
