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.

Sheldon gave me confidence in my abilities and supported my ambitions. Going to a state school has many benefits over private in terms of real-world experience and being friends with a varied group of students. This has helped me in my life since school.
