2018 Pierre de Coubertin Recipient – Nadia Falvo

Nadia Falvo (year twelve) has been awarded the Pierre de Coubertin award for honouring the Olympic spirit.

We are honoured to be here today as we gather on the traditional land of the Muluridji people. We acknowledge and pay our respects to the elders and their families: past, present and emerging. Unique from our own Country, yet unified. With traditions that have been passed down through generations, we bring our own values, knowledge and beliefs of land and people. Together, on this land of the Muluridji people, we come to a place where we have the privilege of learning with each other and from each other to grow together to unite our people.
