Welcome to the 2025-26 season at Corroboree Athletics!

Whether you’re a returning member or joining us for the first time, I’m thrilled to have you as part of our vibrant athletics family. At Corroboree, we believe that athletics is about much more than friendly competition—it’s about fun, friendships, personal growth, and a strong sense of belonging.

As the oldest Little Athletics club in the ACT, with over 55 years of proud history, Corroboree has grown from humble beginnings into a thriving community built on inclusivity, teamwork, and the joy of athletics.

Our club continues to grow thanks to the dedication of volunteers, families, and athletes of all ages and abilities who come together each season to support one another and celebrate the spirit of athletics.

This year, we’re excited to keep building on that legacy—with a strong focus on:

• Creating a ‘next 10 years’ strategic plan for the future of the club, aligned with Capital Athletics’ strategic vision.
• Expanding opportunities for volunteers and coaches, ensuring everyone has a pathway to ‘grow and give back’.
• Strengthening partnerships with smaller ACT clubs, looking for corporate sponsorships and improving our facilities in collaboration with Sportsground ACT.
• Reviewing our inclusion and diversity focus to ensure Corroboree remains a welcoming place for all.
• And most importantly, continuing to deliver the fun, friendly, and high-quality meets, special events and programs that Corroboree is known for.

Behind the scenes, our committee is working hard to ensure everything is ready for the 25-26 season to ensure it runs smoothly, but it’s the energy, support, and involvement of our whole community that truly makes Corroboree special. Whether you’re helping out on the field, cheering from the sidelines, or giving your best in competition, you are an important part of what makes this club great!

This year I’m thrilled to be taking on the Corroboree Presidency and welcome back to the committee Sam Findlay (Vice President), James Peek (Registrar), David Boshier (Head Coach) Andy Martin (Coach), and Sharon Maloney. In addition to some familiar and new faces Erica Parrington (Secretary), Chris Dimitriadis (Treasurer), Joel Pearson (Assistant Registrar), Karl Giason, Stephen Sheppard, Brock Biilmann and (for the first time) our Junior Committee Rep, Anna Boshier.

As your President, I’m here to advocate for our members and support our team. While I’m still relatively new to athletics as a sport, I bring a deep passion for inclusion, collaboration, and continuous learning. I genuinely value the unique strengths and stories each of you bring to our club. So please, bring your whole self—and don’t hesitate to share your ideas, feedback, or enthusiasm. We’re stronger when we work together and build a community around fun, fitness, friends and family.

Thank you for being part of Corroboree Athletics. Here’s to a fantastic season filled with fun, determination, community, and achievement—for every athlete, volunteer, and supporter.

Warmest regards,

Bec Jackson

President
