Western Bulldogs Leadership Project

Melton SC has participated in this project every year since its inception 4 years ago. Last year we had 3 participants.

Due to the popularity of The Western Bulldogs Leadership Project, candidates must apply to participate by completing an online nomination form.

Click here to nominate for The Western Bulldogs Leadership Project

Nominations open Monday 30th January and close Friday 3rd March 2017.

Nominations can be completed via two avenues;

1.     Self - completed by a prospective participant or

2.     Adult - a referral from a parent, school teacher, coach etc 

All applicants will be notified regarding the outcome of their nomination in mid-March.

Males and females in years 9 or 10 who live within the six participating councils (Brimbank, Glenelg, Hobsons Bay, Maribyrnong, Melton and Moonee Valley) are eligible to participate.

A commitment to attending 80% of workshops between April and September is also required.

Let Mr. Darcy know if you nominate or want to get him to do the nomination.
