Student Spotlight - Audrey Chen

Meet Audrey Chen

Year 8 student Audrey Chen has recently represented Faith Christian School as a Metropolitan East Tennis player with Queensland Representative School Sport. As the youngest member of the team, Audrey proudly joined 13 other Queensland students who travelled to Perth to compete in the 18 Years Tennis School Sport Australia National Championships.

The Queensland team delivered an outstanding performance throughout the competition, finishing in an impressive third place nationally - a remarkable achievement at such a high level of competition.

Today, we proudly shine the spotlight on Audrey’s accomplishment and invite her to share a little more about herself and her journey in tennis.
