Ignatius Students Ballkid for The Australian Open

Mietta Corby (8 Owen) and Finn Corby (8 Rubio) have just completed a fantastic 3 weeks as Ballkids for The Australian Open. They had the opportunity to ballkid for many well know players, including legends such as Mark Philappoussis and Pat Rafter; as well as witness Dylan Alcott and the Special Ks playing on Rod Laver Arena.

It was an enormous commitment, with many early mornings and late nights. They needed to complete daily Covid 19 RATs and contend with standing in the sun in relentless hot weather.

A great achievement for these two students.
