Born four months premature, Haifa Feeney was at high risk of disability and developmental difficulties. However, not only has she beaten the odds, she has excelled in many areas. Haifa joined St Hilda’s in Pre-Primary and is now in Year 3. Through the encouragement of Junior School teachers and the sport program, Haifa has continued to improve her motor skills and always strives for her personal best. Whether it be the athletics carnival, swimming carnival or basketball, she gives it all her best shot. Haifa was inspired by the messages on St Hilda’s billboards around the area, so we thought we’d give her a ‘billboard’ in this edition of Ammonite.
