Student Profile
Arabella Scott
Summary: I am an individual who is absolutely passionate about all codes of sport. I love nothing more than representing my school in sport and have attended many sporting carnivals over the last 12 months. I am a member of the Moorefield Girls Talented Athlete Program led by Ms R Pirie.
I am totally committed and dedicated to football. I play in the Premiere League 1 Division for Bankstown City Lions and Captian the Botany Bay Pirates in Premier League 1 for Futsal. Over the past two years I have been a ball girl and a flag bearer for Sydney FC, Socceroos and the Matildas. More recently I was part of the Asian Cup Ball Kids Squad and ball girl for the Matildas v Vietnam match.
Recently I had the pleasure of taking an active role as leader in the Bayside Learning Community Sporting Buddies Program. I taught the 'kindy' age group and helped them to develop various skills. I received positive results and feedback from the students and teaching staff.
Sport has given me lots of rewards and has provided not only a lot of pleasure to perform as an athlete but has taught me to be a leader and a team player. Sport is not only about winning, but also about learning how to lose. I have met so many people and developed many friendships by playing sport.
