A school leader, student council member, and now a 2025 Burdekin Water Festival Junior Ambassador; Jorja Vasta will proudly represent Burdekin Junior Rugby League over the next four months.
After admiring the Burdekin Water Festival Grand Parade from the footpath for many years, Jorja has been eagerly waiting for her turn as a Junior Ambassador to come, and now that it’s become a reality, she’s beyond excited to create community connections, and expand her friendship circle.
“I have grown up watching the Burdekin Water Festival Procession and absolutely love the different floats and watching the community come together,” shared Jorja.
“After speaking with previous Ambassadors, I am most excited to be up on the float, enjoying the parade from a different view and I am also looking forward to gaining confidence during this time.”
When she’s not on the football field playing in the Rooster’s U11 team, Jorja keeps herself busy with her strong interests in gymnastics, crafts and knitting and volunteering at community events and school fundraisers on occasion.
Jorja’s journey is just beginning, and with her family cheering her on from the sidelines and cannot wait to experience everything the Ambassador Program has to offer.
“I attend a small school, and I am looking forward to getting to know more people,” added Jorja.
“Personally, rugby league is a big part of my family’s life and history, and I am grateful to be representing Burdekin Junior Rugby League and hope to promote our awesome club in the Burdekin Water Festival.”
