During the School holidays Aden Voon in Year 4 went to Bendigo, Victoria for his first Australian Taekwondo National Championship. He sparred in the 08-09 Years RED Belt 34-38kgs division and after a nail biting ending after three rounds of sparring, he won by a single point!
Aden is a gold medalist winner and is officially an Australian Taekwondo National Champion in his division.
As a College community we are very proud of him. His coach was very pleased with Aden's progress this year and specifically highlighted Aden's ability to listen to instructions and execute them precisely.
His parents have acknowledged and thanked Aden’s teachers in his life at Thomas Hassall Anglican College, who have all taught him skills of a growth mindset, persistence and actively engaging with his goals.
Aden aspires to compete at the Olympics one day and we wish him all the best with future taekwondo endeavours.
