Harmoni Hill from PCYC Penrith joined the youth charity’s gymnastics program to learn new skills and make new friends, quickly discovering that she had a stand-out talent for the sport.

The 13-year-old is now set to represent New South Wales at the Australian Gymnastics Championships on the Gold Coast from July 3 to 17 – featuring the best Artistic, Rhythmic, Trampoline, Aerobic and Acrobatic gymnasts from across the country.

“This achievement is a testament to both Harmoni’s skills, and the PCYC Gymnastics coaches who are dedicated to helping young gymnasts reach their full potential.” said PCYC Penrith Gymnastics Program Leader, Anne Lovegrove.

Harmoni will be competing in the Open Women’s Artistic Gymnastics category. “My routines involve flipping and tumbling, which is sometimes scary, but I’m very proud to have got to where I am, I’ve worked equally as hard as everyone else and I’m so excited to compete.”

The South Penrith local has been involved with gymnastics since she was 5 years old, this will be her first time competing on a national stage. “I just want to do my best, and have fun, that’s all that really matters – it’s a great experience.” said Harmoni.

Harmoni will be joined on the Gold Coast by a 15-year-old gymnast from PCYC Auburn, reaching for the stars in the Double Mini Trampoline category.

The teenagers are among dozens of other gymnasts vying to bring a title home to New South Wales, and a chance to compete at the 2025 World Championships later in the year.

PCYC communities have rallied to fundraise so that both families aren’t entirely out of pocket for the trip, making this milestone competition more accessible.

Competitions and events play a vital role in the growth and development of young people. PCYC prides itself on supporting members as they challenge themselves, represent their communities, and build lifelong skills both on and off the mat.
