Orlando Hickling from Maclean High School has been selected to represent the New South Wales First Nations Goanna team in the Australian Secondary Schools Rugby League National Championships at the end of this month. Orlando is currently playing for the Clarence Magpies under-16s team, coached by John Elisaia. His mother Dee-Anne, father Anthony and brothers Ajay, Bronx and Roman are extremely proud of him. Orlando started playing football in the under-7s. He hopes to play for the Cronulla Sharks one day. Congratulations, Orlando, on a great achievement.

At the recent National Powerlifting Championships in Adelaide, five representatives from Cyclone Training Centre in Goonellabah set seven national records and two world records. Owner of Cyclone Training, Josh Brown, broke two world and national records and will be heading to Manchester for the world championships. Alex Sipple competed in the under-15 division and set two national records. Shane Atta-Singh deadlifted 330 kilograms in his class, which was a personal best and a new national record, and Trish Tindall deadlifted 164 kilograms, also a new national record and a personal best. Maria Elpitiya Badalge also set three personal bests with her lifts on the day. I'd like to congratulate all the competitors and wish Josh the best at the world championships.
