Peter Wischusen
Nominated by: Emily (Big Sister)
Sport of Interest: AFL
Peter has been playing AFL for the Mudgeeraba Saints for over five years and this year is the captain of the under 11’s team. He has a passion for the game, all you have to do is see the posters plastered on the walls of his bedroom and when he’s not playing he’s watching it on tv. Mum doesn’t understand how he can get up before 6am on the weekend to play footy but can’t get up before 7am to go to school. All I can say is he is a very dedicated eleven year old!

Last year, Holly competed in her first triathlon and was selected to represent South Coast a few months later. Since 2007, Holly has represented South Coast in girls cricket. She took up rowing at the beginning of last year and won 1st place in the double with her partner at the South Queensland championships by 0.6 of a second and went on to place 8th overall at state level in the double, and placed 4th in the semi’s at states in the single skull.

I am so proud of her that she has managed to keep up her sport and academics and music at the same time!
