NRL Workshop

NRL Harmony Program

In partnership with the NRL In League in Harmony Program and NRL Indigenous School to work Program, our Year 12 Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander students were invited to participate in the’ In League In Harmony Youth Advocates Leadership Workshop’ held at AAMI Park Stadium on Wednesday 27th March.

The Youth Advocates workshop is designed to give students in schools the opportunity to grow their leadership capacity through a series of educational and practical learning experiences.
