Indian Australian Joanne Joseph has been accepted into the National Squad to play for Australia.
Joanne will play in the Under 13 girls division and would represent Australia in the Trans Tasman series against New Zealand. The Trans-Tasman Test Series is an annual competition between the best Junior Squash players Australian and New Zealand have to offer. The event location rotates between countries each year. It is the highest recognition a Junior player (under 19 years ) can get in the country and opens up the opportunity for her to be part of the National team for many such opportunities going forward.
Joanne incidentally was also offered full academic scholarship from Grade 7 to Grade 12 by Bacchus Marsh Grammar and also adjudged the Dux of the year—Grade 6.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.

Thank you for your support.
