Aspire Program Recipient

Every year La Trobe University encourage year 12 students to apply for their Aspire Program. This program is open to those who have gained valuable skills, knowledge and experience through volunteering or making a positive contribution to their community. If successful, students are given a conditional early offer into their chosen university course.

Wheelers Hill Secondary College would like to congratulate Tayla Huckel on her successful Aspire Application. Tayla has been given an early offer into La Trobe’s Bachelor of Sports and Exercise Science. Tayla has been recognised for her years of volunteer work as a Gymnastics judge for Knox Gymnastics. Through her work, Tayla has not only developed her interpersonal skills but she has also made a positive contribution in promoting her chosen sport and guiding others on how to become judges themselves. Well done Tayla. We wish you all the best with your future endeavours.
