Alicia spent two hours at the school, speaking with students about Tennis and her career, before fielding questions and holding
a workshop with Tennis WA representatives.
The visit is part of Tennis Australia’s National School Network Program – a pilot
program being trialled at Mount Pleasant Primary School. Carlisle Primary School was also chosen to pilot the program this
year and the two schools are the only two public primary schools selected to trial the program.
Teacher and National School Network Program ambassador Ian Allen said the students were thrilled to have Alicia visit the
school.
“Students were so excited to have Alicia here and to be able to ask her questions about her career and how she has
reached her goals,” he said.
“She really reinforces the school’s values and inspired the students when she told them to believe in themselves
and follow their dreams.”.. more
