Chamber backs Futures Academy

Peninsula Chamber of Commerce has congratulated Brisbane Water Secondary College after the successful launch of its Futures Academy – High Performance Athlete Program on Friday morning, June 20.

“This program is truly innovative as it will target, support and promote high-potential students in sport and academics,” Chamber President Matthew Wales said.

“It’s a credit to the Secondary College and its collaboration with the Brisbane Water Learning Community.

“The local business community is proud to be involved with the College with the view to providing support and sponsorship from local businesses.

“We should remember that the Brisbane Water Learning Community has a combined enrolment figure of over 4,000 students across the five Peninsula and Empire Bay public schools which, together with the Brisbane Water Secondary College, provides an incredibly rich talent pool of young children and teenagers.”

Wales said the program looked to support the high potential and gifted students within the local learning community.

“Programs like the Futures Academy will nurture and promote local students empowering them to reach their full potential both through their chosen sport and academic studies,” he said.

“This initiative is one of several programs that the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce is excited to be involved with … in the hope that many of these young aspiring students return to our local business community and become successful active business leaders.”
