Earlier this month, our Sports Ambassadors participated in the Young Officials event at Sheldon. It is an opportunity for young athletes in primary schools to learn how to take on leadership roles in their schools as umpires, referees and playground leaders. Our Sports Ambassadors helped guide and support the Young Officials in various activities to demonstrate focus, make fair judgements, manage the pace of games and resolve conflicts on the field. 

The Young Officials event was a great success with primary students developing important leadership skills and gaining confidence in their abilities to make decisions and lead by example. Thank you to everyone involved for showing fantastic effort, teamwork and sportsmanship to help nurture the next generation of sports officials.

I was head girl in 2015 and loved being able to speak to parents about my time at Sheldon when they were considering where their children should go. Because of how it has shaped me as a person I feel I am who I am today because of my time there.
