CHELSEA boy Tom Wilcock, 12, received a $500 grant in the latest round of the local sporting champions program. The grant was announced by federal Isaacs Labor MP Mark Dreyfus. “Congratulations to Tom on this well-deserved grant, which he used to travel to Sydney to compete in the School Sport Australia national track and field championships,” Mr Dreyfus said. “Tom is one many great young athletes in Melbourne’s
south-east and I wish him every success in his sporting future.” The MP encourages all residents to take the opportunity this summer “to give a sport or new activity a go”. The local sporting champions grants program offers grants of up to $500 to help athletes aged 12-18 to try out at representative sporting championships. The latest round of the program is open now, with submissions closing on Tuesday 28 February. See ausport.gov.au or call 02 6214 1111 for details.
