LYNDALE Secondary College alumni Philip Petreski was honoured for his contributions to state-level school soccer last year, named as one of four soccer recipients of the Victorian School Sports Awards.
Petreski, 18, from Rowville, was selected for the School Sports Victoria under-19 soccer team, to cap off a fantastic season with the Melbourne Heart Youth.
Education Minister Martin Dixon said the Victorian School Sports Awards were the highest sporting accolade in the Victorian government school system.
Petreski currently playing for South Melbourne in the FFV’s Victorian Premier League competition – the highest level soccer competition in Victoria – was on the Melbourne Heart’s Youth squad in for the 2012/13 season.
“The Victorian Coalition Government is proud to acknowledge the achievements of Victoria’s best young school sports stars through the Victorian School Sports Awards,” Mr Dixon said.
“This year, 45 outstanding students, and seven parents, teachers and volunteers received Victorian School Sports Awards.
“Playing sport has so many benefits – keeping students healthy, developing leadership and teamwork skills, and teaching discipline.”
