Sports Excellence Scholarship Fund Testimonials

Read what some of our students and their parents have to say about receiving a SSV Sports Excellence Scholarship.

The highlights of attending the national championships were definitely representing my state for the first time and getting to know new children from around Australia. I benefitted from playing with other good players and it was really good to meet other children that play golf at a similar level to me. It was a fantastic experience to have at a young age and I would like to tell other students that are attending a championship to make the most of their opportunities and to enjoy themselves and to make new friends. - Fraser Marris, Warrnambool Primary School - 12 Years and Under Golf (2014) ​
