The Brody Wood Kenney Legacy recognises that sometimes we may need a little extra support, and as such, supports children and families towards Living OUR Best Life.

The Legacy

The Legacy aims to make a difference in the lives of young people and families by offering a range of range of scholarships to be used for school, study, sport, health, innovation or work opportunities.

Brody Wood Kenney, a proud young man with ties across Boorloo (Perth & WA), bravely commenced his journey with WA Police in Years 11 and 12 while studying at Prendiville Catholic College, determined to make a positive difference in bridging the gap between Community and Police.

He then went on to work at Perth City and Mirrabooka Police Stations in 2022 and was awarded a WA Police medal from the Aboriginal Affairs Division for his work and integrity. This now has become the foundation for the Cultural and Diversity Immersion Training (Perception is OUR Truth) that is rolling out across WA Police, Education and organisations across the state.

About Brody

Brody was an astounding young man who always pushed his family and friends to do better. Brody’s big personality, energy and banter had such a positive impact on friends, colleagues, family and community.

Brody represented WA in football and athletics, winning the WA Kickstart Championships in 2015 and was often known for saying we are “Living OUR Best Life”. Brody was always known as a kind young man, brother, loyal friend, and “OUR Sonshine” by many. He will be forever remembered for the highlights, the laughter, and having a zest for making everyone around him feel special.

The Brody Wood Kenney Legacy has been set up to honour and continue Brody’s determination to help young people and families to make good choices and actively participate in Living OUR Best Life.
