Calrossy Anglican School’s Year 10 student, Abbie Peet, has been making waves both on the athletics track and in the broader sporting community. The 16-year-old recently travelled to Sydney to compete in the Athletics AICES Championships, where she not only secured first place in three events but also set a new record in the 100m. Abbie’s winning time of 16.97 seconds in the 100m smashed previous records, showcasing her exceptional talent. She also took home gold in the 200m and 800m, solidifying her reputation as a rising star in athletics.
“I’ve worked really hard to get to this point, and setting a new record in the 100m was an incredible moment for me,” said Abbie. “I’m so thankful for the support I’ve received from my family, school, and coaches.”
Abbie’s remarkable success on the track was followed by another exciting opportunity—an invitation to the Paralympics Welcome Home Ceremony in Sydney. She was one of 15 para-athletes invited to celebrate alongside Australia’s Paralympians. Abbie attended the event with her father, where they were joined by notable figures such as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, members of the media, and other dignitaries.

Among the Paralympians was Abbie’s friend, Mali Lovell , who won a bronze medal in the 200m at the Paris Paralympics. Abbie was thrilled to be part of such a significant occasion, saying, “It was an unforgettable experience to be there and celebrate the athletes’ achievements. I loved every moment, especially getting to meet the mascots and take photos with them. There was so much energy and excitement, with music, cheering, and so much joy.”
The day was filled with emotional reunions as the Olympians were greeted by their loved ones. “It was really special to see the athletes reunited with their families—it reminded me of the incredible support system we all need to succeed,” Abbie reflected.
Looking to the future, Abbie has her sights set on representing Australia in the Paralympics , with Los Angeles 2028 in her dreams. “Being at the Welcome Home Ceremony gave me even more motivation to keep pushing towards my goal. I’m aiming for the Paralympics—hopefully in LA!”Calrossy Anglican School couldn’t be prouder of Abbie’s achievements. Her dedication, resilience, and drive embody the values of our school—resilience, selflessness, integrity, and inclusiveness.
