Tryphena Hewett visited Ingle Farm East Primary School on Tuesday 11 August 2026.

Tryphena Hewett started athletics as a tiny tot at her local club in Tea Tree Gully and has slowly moved through the sport to represent Australia claiming bronze at the World Junior Championships and competing at the World University Games. Growing up, she played both basketball and netball, and found success in High Jump through little athletics. In 2019, she attempted Pole Vault for the first time, and in 2021 began to excel in the event, which by specialising in, has created opportunities to compete internationally.

Here are some comments from the teachers:

“Tryphena had all the kids engaged and I loved how she got them active multiple times throughout the presentation 😊 thanks for coming!”

“The ambassador sharing about setting goals.”
