Cricket builds confidence as much as it offers challenges, according to talented Year 10 Elite Sports Academy student Shameka, who hopes to play for Australia one day.

The Melton Campus student’s dedication to her sport and studies was recognised earlier this year when she was awarded an Academy Movement REACH Scholarship.

Shameka is a Victorian Country representative cricketer who was part of a very successful Nationals campaign in Tasmania this year, where she took eight wickets.
