It's been another fantastic year of activity and achievement within our sport and recreation, and physical activity sectors. I would like to thank everyone for sharing their success stories during 2016. It's enjoyable to read each month about what is happening throughout the Tasmanian community. Recently we honoured seven new inductees into the Tasmanian Sporting Hall of Fame. The inductees have represented their state and country with high distinction, and this award highlights their magnificent achievements and careers. I would also like to say thank you and well done to the staff within the Communities, Sport and Recreation Division. I am proud to be part of such an enthusiastic and hardworking team. I wish you all a safe, healthy and happy Christmas and new year. Kate Kent Executive Director, Communities, Sport and Recreation Seven new members for Tasmanian Sporting Hall of Fame Seven outstanding Tasmanian sportspeople were inducted into the Tasmanian Sporting Hall of Fame on 23 November 2016.

Forty students from the four colleges in the Hobart area competed in a round robin competition. Elizabeth College won the final beating Claremont College 6­4 (40) to 3­2 (20). Hobart and Rosny played off for third and fourth. Wheelchair Australian Football was developed by Physical disABILITY Sports Tasmania to give people with a physical disability the opportunity to play Australian Rules Football. The game is played on a basketball court with five players on each team with interchange players. The team is divided into two backs, a centre and two forwards who are the designated scorers. The court is divided into zones with the forwards and backs only allowed in two thirds, and the centre allowed anywhere on the court. A handball becomes a kick, and an underarm pass a hand ball. A mark is taken off a handball (kick). The scoring is the same as Australian Rules Football: a goal is 6 http://sportandrecreationtasmania.cmail20.com/t/ViewEmail/j/EEF71F152B1BF32C/62DC2A173F5F36682540EF23F30FEDED 2/8 12/15/2016 sportandrecreationtasmania.cmail20.com/t/ViewEmail/j/EEF71F152B1BF32C/62DC2A173F5F36682540EF23F30FEDED points and a behind, 1 point. The game is now played with open classification where people with physical disability and able bodied people play on the same team.

The 13­year old only started playing tennis when she was in Grade 6 at Margate Primary School, but since then she has developed a real passion for the sport. She currently plays at the Kingborough Tennis Centre where she is coached by Nick Martin, and is now starting to play in pennant competitions. Annika was chosen from a group of players attending a session at the Cygnet tennis courts in February this year when she impressed Evonne Goolagong. The Evonne Goolagong Foundation Scholarships are designed to identify "kids who display enthusiasm, determination and a willingness to improve themselves given half a chance." The program invites Indigenous girls and boys aged 5­ 15 years to have fun and give tennis a real go. Athletic ability is also taken into consideration. Further information can be found at the Evonne Goolagong Foundation website. The Goolagong National Development Camp that Annika attended was conducted in Adelaide on 22­ 23 October 2016. Annika felt extremely privileged to spend time with a legend of Australian tennis. She has come back with a range of new skills, and says that the clinic certainly helped to improve her two­handed backhand stroke and serving action. Annika's mother, Janice, is extremely proud of her daughter's achievement, and says that Annika is very keen to keep playing tennis. At the moment, Annika has no specific goals in mind for her tennis career, and is simply happy to let the sport take her where it will. Further coaching and training opportunities will be determined by Annika's performance at upcoming tournaments, but for now her primary focus is to continue to have fun playing the sport she loves.

An online support system encouraged participants to share their training journey and community dinner was held for 280 people. Around 180 women aged 18 to 82 entered the 2015 event. Two weeks after accepting their award, the 2016 TRY­athlon and Fun Run was held at Stanley. Once again an outstanding number of participants took part in the triathlon or fun run. Many of the participants were competing again after trying the event for the first time in 2015. TRY­athlon co­founder Toni Popowski said they had seen a lot more interest on the back of the award win. "The exposure that it's given us definitely helped. The numbers for the TRY­athlon were up this year", she said. Photo: Members of the TRY­athlon and Fun Run Committee and award sponsor representatives Tasmanian Human Rights Awards 2016 On 2 December, the Tasmanian Anti­ Discrimination Commissioner, Robin Banks, hosted the Human Rights Week Awards presentation at Parliament House. Each of the nine awards is sponsored by an individual or organisation from the government, community or private sectors, and recognises achievements in human rights categories. Communities, Sport and Recreation sponsors the Robin Hood AM Sport Award, which is presented to a sporting organisation active in the promotion, protection and fulfilment of human rights in the Tasmanian community. Robin Hood AM contributed a lifetime of service to his community through his contribution to the Tasmanian sporting sector up until his death in 2012. Netball Tasmania was presented with a high commendation in the Robin Hood AM Sport Award category for 2016 for its evolving work in developing programs and activities to promote inclusion, address unconscious bias and remove physical barriers to participation. A particular highlight is Netball Tasmania's work with communities that experience difficulty accessing sport and recreation activities.
