Brianna Rattray - January 5, 2006
.
Sixteen-year-old Brianna Rattray has enjoyed playing a variety of sports for several years. She plays basketball, volleyball and rugby on her school teams at St. Johns College (SJC). Last year, she was thrilled to be named team MVP after playing rugby for only two years, and is gearing up for her third season. She played volleyball on her school teams for six years, and is currently on the SJC senior girls team.
Basketball is a sport that she really enjoys, and has been playing for 12 years with the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO), as well as on various school teams. She started playing on a Briers rep team last year and has spent countless hours volunteering with CYO helping referee, running skill sessions and coaching other teams.
Brianna was a member of the Brantford Aquatic Club for many years, swimming both recreationally and competitively. She recently started up a school swim team as a leadership project, and is pleased to bring back this program to SJC, after fours years without a swim team.
Brianna enjoys trying new sports and plans to stay active and live a healthy life style. She recently started working at the Fitness Centre, and is in the process of receiving her NLS and standard first aid certificates.
She enjoys giving back to her community and frequently volunteers at the school for the blind, helping on canoe and hiking trips, whenever support staff is needed.
Brianna is a grade 11 student at SJC and last year achieved an overall average of 93%. She is on target again this year and through lots of hard work has managed to maintain a 93% average. Her sights are set on going to university in two years, and she intends to keep her options open for the future.
Congratulations Brianna, and good luck! |
