| GRADUATION The AFL SportsReady Graduation was held on the 28th March at the Queensland Cricketer’s Club. The night was a huge success with nearly everyone attending that was expected there. We had many special guests who attended the evening and we would like to thank them once again for coming. Big thank you again for their support to: Throughout the evening there were many speeches conducted including one speech from the man himself, Jonathan Brown. Jonathan spoke about his journey through life, how he got to where he is today and the many obstacles he had to overcome with his main point being that you can’t give up when things seem hard, you have to keep trying until you succeed. There were congratulations all round as Shane read out the Graduating Trainees and once again we would like to congratulate them. Special congratulations must go to Leah Hailwood for receiving the Host Plus Rising Star Award for 2008. Leah received a cheque for $500.00 to go toward further study thanks to Host Plus Superannuation. Congratulations Leah! Our Trainee Of The Year this year is Andrew Allen-Sympson from AFLQ Brisbane South East. Andrew also received a cheque for $500.00 to go toward further study. Well done on a fantastic year Andrew. Congratulations again. |
