Congratulations to Harriet Shields on receiving a Time to Shine Women in Sport Grant!

Harriet has been dedicated to achieving her netball goals, trialing and being selected for the U12 Mackay Netball Team and completing the Mackay Netball Association preseason squad in November 2023. She was also chosen for the Mackay Monarchs U12 team and plays weekly in the 12A club netball division. Additionally, she represents St Patrick’s in school netball.

Harriet trains 2–3 times a week, preparing for events like the State Age Carnival, where she competed with her team last year. While the team faced challenges due to limited exposure to metro-standard competition, the experience was invaluable for skill development and growth. Competing against strong teams has been a fantastic opportunity for Harriet and her teammates to improve and thrive as regional players in the sport they love.

Congratulations Harriet, we looking forward to following your netball journey!

Congratulations to Aurelie Heward, who was a recent recipient of the Q4 Time to Shine Women in Sport Magpies Grant! 🏀

Aurelie has been passionate about basketball since she started playing at just five years old. For the past three years, she has represented Mackay in basketball competitions, and 2024 marks her first year as part of the Mackay Meteorettes Division 1 basketball team.

The season spans five months, featuring competitions across North Queensland, culminating in the state championships in Brisbane. A standout moment in Aurelie`s journey was attending the Under-12 Basketball Queensland State Championships in Zillmere, where her team proudly placed 3rd in Division One, earning a medal—an incredible achievement!

The community grant has helped Aurelie and her family with the cost of travel to and from the event, and accommodation over the 4 days of the competition.

Well done, Aurelie! We wish you well in your future basketball endeavours!
