Imogen Connell

Alister Henskens and Imogen Connell
20 Nov 2025
I recently awarded Imogen Connell a State Representative Award for her achievements at the 2025 Australian Junior Athletics Championships. Imogen competed in April in the under-13s discus and under-14s pole vault. She is not only skilled at discus and pole vault but also performs well at hammer throw, hurdles and shot-put.
I acknowledge the outstanding contributions of community organisations in my electorate of Wahroonga, with some receiving funding under the Community Building Partnership program. I wholeheartedly support initiatives that strengthen our communities and deliver real benefits to local people. This year's grants have funded a diverse range of projects that improve safety, enhance education, promote health and wellbeing, and foster inclusion in the Wahroonga electorate.
