Beyond excited to dive headfirst into the event’s exciting Ambassador Program, Asha Grasso will proudly represent East Ayr State School (EASS) as a Junior Ambassador in the 2025 Burdekin Water Festival.
“The aspect of the Burdekin Water Festival that excited me the most is getting to meet new people and hopefully gain some new skills and confidence,” explained Asha.
“I’m looking forward to being up on a float as my family have attended lots of Burdekin Water Festivals since I was little and I have always said I wanted to be the one up on a float one day, and now I get to fulfil one of my childhood dreams!”
In her free time, Asha can be found playing soccer in either the fullback or winger positions, however more recently Asha has picked up a new hobby under the guidance of her aunty.
“I love learning how to do different hairstyles, and my aunty is a hairdresser, and she has encouraged my learning by offering to enrol me into her online hairdressing course!”
Asha holds a strong love for her EASS community, and she’s eager to embark on this journey with the support of her school behind her.
“The Burdekin Water Festival is an opportunity for the community to come together to celebrate our abundance of water, and raise money for our local organisations and charities,” Asha shared.
“It means so much to be able to represent East Ayr as it’s such a great school, with wonderful community spirit, so when the opportunity came up to nominate, I jumped at it!”
