Isla Lovell, a Year 8 student at Broadoak Academy, has achieved major success as a cheerleader at the international America Cheer Summit, held annually at the world-famous Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.
Varsity All Stars is one of the most prestigious end-of-season cheerleading championships in the world, and Isla competed with the Predator Athletics Cheer Team, Leopards.
