Al ¾ÞÈéÊÓƵ invited the NRL Touch Football Academy to help run an after school sports program for all Primary students. The sessions ran for one hour and students were encouraged to pick up a new skill and play the sport.
Did you know that Touch Football is Australia’s largest social sport, with 700,000 participants around the country? This is because it’s fun and social, there’s no tackling, everyone can play together and it’s simple to learn. It’s also a great cardio workout in a fun, social environment.
We had students learning how to run with the rugby ball while trying to score a try. Students had some competitions to see how they could work as a team using game sense approaches. It was fantastic to see so many students taking part in this awesome clinic and making new friends.
Thank you to the awesome coaches for encouraging our students to have a go and learn about NRL Touch Football.

The goals, which he strives towards, are to pass on his knowledge to future generations so they can use and apply what they have learnt in school and the future.
When Daniel was at High School, his Physical Education teacher was very highly respected by all students, parents and teachers, and was a great role model, which influenced him to become a Physical Education teacher himself. Creating a safe and positive environment for students to enjoy school and encourage them to always try their best at anything they do is a goal that he will try to accomplish to the best of his ability.
