Helena Ristevski will represent NSW in a beauty pageant with a charitable cause.
This teen's first year of high school could get a whole lot more glittery.
Helena Ristevski, 12, of Gymea Bay, is a national finalist in Miss Diamond Australia.
In April the year 7 student of Danebank Anglican School at Hurstville will represent NSW in Brisbane, where she will compete for the beauty pageant crown.
Helena will be raising money for charities including The Kookaburra kids, Star Kids World Vision and Beyond Blue.
"I support a lot of children charities because I believe every child deserves to be a kid," she said.
