“I really want to be a role model for girls in sport and help them realise, it's ok not to fit a mould, because sometimes when you're in high school you're told, you've got to do rowing or you've got to do netball... and sometimes you don't fit that mould. “I definitely did not fit that mould, and that's ok. We can't all be the same because this world would be very, very boring. It's ok for a girl to pick up a sword, it's so much fun." The 2021 RMIT University Elite Athlete Scholarship was awarded to recipient Lily Whitehead on Sunday, in a ceremony at the Bundoora Campus attended by RMIT Vice Chancellor and President, Martin Bean. Lily is currently studying a Bachelor of Applied Science (Psychology), while simultaneously representing Australia in Fencing. Congratulations Lily!!
