5 Star Community Coach announced

30 Jan 2008

The Active After-school Communities 5 Star Community Coach award was been established to highlight best practice and recognise outstanding achievement in coaching within the AASC program. We congratulate 2007 national winner, Alison Parker and all the state winners.

National Winner

Alison Parker - South Australia

Epitomising the very best of both community and coaching qualities, Alison is a ‘can do’ person who tackles challenges with a positive and practical attitude. In 2007, her gymnastics sessions have expertly accommodated over 40 children from the local indigenous Gidja OSHC, with back to back sessions often catering for over 80 kids in one night! Alison has developed strong relationships with both the students and community leaders, providing unique opportunities for low socio-economic families, special needs and indigenous children in the region.

Troy Croton - Northern Territory

Donna Wade - Australian Capital Territory and Southwest New South Wales

Regina Hansen - Tasmania 

Brookes Roach - New South Wales
