The Huddle

Jared from Templestowe Park Primary School shared their perspective on Game Day: "A low entry level where everyone can get engaged, but also a high ceiling so kids can really be creative." Templestowe Park Primary has been with Game Day since our pilot year in 2022, bringing their Grade 5 students annually for an engaging, growth-focused experience. Tahlia, Kate and Zoe from the North Melbourne AFLW team also made an appearance on the day! We’re looking forward to welcoming them back in 2025 and continuing to help students learn, grown and belong. Don’t miss your chance to join in the fun! #GameDay #TemplestoweParkPS #Creativity #BookNow

“What I learned in Game Changes was transferable skills that I can use in my future-" Meet Nabiha Mohamed, one of our Game Changers alumni at The Huddle! Nabiha teamed up with her peers to crack an exciting challenge: “How can we design a multi-sport event that promotes participation and social inclusion?” 🤔 Through capacity-building workshops, Nabiha sharpened her ideation skills, built confidence, and developed a standout community-focused project.  In the final Pitch Event, Nabiha and her team presented their innovative idea to industry professionals—a multi-sport program focused on inclusion for people with disabilities and disadvantaged young people. The best part? Game Changers is all about hands-on learning and real-world skills! From public speaking and collaboration to project management, participants walk away feeling more confident and career-ready. Check out Nabiha’s time with us in Game Changers in the article below 👇 https://lnkd.in/gGE_YsfJ!
