Inaugural junior ambassador
CAMPERDOWN’S Pastoral and Agricultural Society (P and A Society) has named its first junior ambassador for this year’s show next month.
Jada Mahony has been named as the 2025 Camperdown Show Junior Ambassador, selected for her community engagement in a variety of areas.
Jada said being named as the ambassador was “pretty cool”.
“It was unexpected at first, but once they explained what the role was, I was pretty excited to be able to be the show ambassador,” she said.
“I’m looking forward to getting out into the community, meeting some new people and checking out what everyone’s doing.”
After the Camperdown Show next month, she will be eligible to be nominated for the Victorian Agricultural Society Junior Show Ambassador Award.
Homecrafts steward Noelene Powling said Jada was selected as ambassador due to her achievements in the community.
“Earlier this year, she was awarded the prestigious Lions Youth of the Year, where she impressed judges with her heartfelt speech and strong community involvement,” she said.
“Jada was also recognised at the Camperdown Football Netball Volunteer of the Week for her dedication and willingness to support others.
“Jada recently completed a trainer’s course, which has allowed her to play an important role at the Camperdown Football Netball Club, particularly by assisting with junior football teams.
“Her commitment and enthusiasm have had a great impact on both the players and the club as a whole.
“Beyond football, Jada is also a talented sportsperson with the Pomborneit Cricket Club where she is recognised as an outstanding batswoman and bowler.”
Jada also shows strong pride in her school Camperdown College, where she serves as the senior campus’ joint school captain and works at the junior campus as a PE aid.
Ms Powling said her role as school captain demonstrates her leadership, responsibility and dedication to her peers and the wider community.
“Through her involvement in school, sport, volunteering and community events, Jada continues to show imitative, leadership and compassion – qualities that make her a worthy junior ambassador for 2025,” she said.
Jada will be helping out during the Camperdown show on October 11, including in the homecrafts sections and in the lead-up to show day.
