Koroit supports ‘home grown’ Paralympian
KOROIT Primary School students have thrown their support behind Paralympian Jaylen Brown.
Thomas, Joseph, Will, Ella and Ava were excited to support Koroit’s Jaylen Brown in his quest for Paralympic success.
The school’s Connect students have been creative this week in their support of Brown, a 19 year-old basketballer, decorating the entrance to the school with a message of support.
“Jaylen grew up around the Koroit and Warrnambool basketball and football clubs and he went on to play in the under 18s for Koroit Basketball Club and also represented both Koroit and Warrnambool in squad tournaments,” staff member Amie Timewell said.
“We all hope he has a great time at the Paralympics.”
Nineteen year-old Brown is one of six Paralympic debutants in the Australian Rollers squad shooting for gold in France.
• At the time the Weekly went to print, Australia was about to take on Spain in the men’s qualifying final.
