Representatives from the reigning NRL Premiers including their Coach, Ivan Cleary spoke to the boys on a range of topics. Recruitment Officer, Jim Jones spoke about the important personal qualities he looks for in a potential player outside of their ability on the field. The Panthers’ Wellbeing Officer, Joe Nulaveau (Premiership winner 2003) spoke about this important aspect in every person’s life for their growth and development. Former players Sam Jones and Lee Hopkins then took our players onto the field and put them through some drills.

Finally, the Premiership trophy was placed on display for students to get a photo with and many of our students took this opportunity. The representatives from Penrith were highly impressed with our students. On behalf of St Edward’s, I would like to sincerely thank the Penrith Panthers’ Club for taking the time to educate and inspire our students who love the game of Rugby League.
