Kirsten is runner-up in model quest

 

A Peninsula girl has placed runner-up in a State-wide model quest held in aid of the Royal Institute for deaf and blind children.

Kirsten Beverley of Ettalong Beach placed second in the 7-9 years age group at the grand final of Model Quest 2001 held at the Sydney Hilton Hotel on the December 9.

The quest saw 2200 aspiring models from around NSW and the ACT competing in 38 heats and eight regional finals, all aiming to be one of the 100 finalists appearing at the grand final.

The finalists were grouped in five age categories and paraded in casual and formal wear.

All money raised from Model Quest 2001 has helped the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children provide specialised educational and care facilities for 600 deaf, blind and multi-handicapped children at the institute.

These children receive the benefit of specially designed facilities, together with staff trained in working the deaf and blind children to ensure they have the best possible opportunity to reach their full potential.
