I’m Lily McKersie, a country girl from Coleambally who grew up on a sheep farm and fell in love with farm life.
Growing up, I took interest in cooking and staying active hence the study path.
This year I will be studying a Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science/Bachelor of Nutrition Science at Deakin University, Waurn Ponds campus.
During my third and fourth years of study I am hoping to get practical work as a dietician for a sports team.
I have always had an interest in the way food is able to fuel athletes' bodies for maximum performance.
I would like to thank the Lions Club of Coleambally for recommending me to be the recipient, and the JW Scholarship foundation for this fantastic opportunity. I am very grateful for this honor.

The Active Games are coming up this Saturday in Coleambally.
After a huge success in 2022, organisers want to bring the community back together again with new categories, a later start but the same energy and fun filled afternoon.
Each team needs three participants for the Men’s Open, Women's Open and Mixed Open categories.
You can register for yourself and then invite others to join your team, or you can register everyone at once.
Ensure you have a team name ready to go.
Participants over the age of 18 will be at a cost of $35 per person.
Those over the age of 12 and participating in the open competitions are asked to register in the category you wish to participate. The pricing will automatically update.
There is a separate course for kids 12 and under.
The event will start at 2pm and continue until all teams have completed the course.
There will be music, a barbecue and drinks available, so make an afternoon/evening of it.
