Tasmania Indoor Cricket Representation

Good luck to Year 10 student, Scarlett Henderson who is currently away representing Tasmania in the Under 16 Indoor Cricket National Championships in Victoria.  

Scarlett’s team is currently in third position on the ladder with good wins against WA, Vic and SA, with Scarlett returning bowling figures of 3/-4 in game 4 against Victoria. 

Inspired by Gough Whitlam's commitment to involving young people in shaping Australia's future, What Matters? Tasmania stems from the Whitlam Institute’s national writing competition. Students have responded to the simple question 'what matters?’ in prose or poetry, expressing their views on what they care about most.
