Wests Tigers Inspire Respect Program

Rugby League is a powerful vehicle for inspiring positive in our communities. There are resonating themes which are closely aligned to what children lean in school about health, wellbeing and physical education and what the game of rugby league can offer.

Wests Tigers Inspire Respect program aims to provide an interactive learning experience for primary aged students (stage 3-4) that inspires young individuals. The Inspire Respect program touches on two key dimensions, including the students need to lean about respect and students being able to demonstrate respect. The Wests Tigers Inspire Respect program is directly related to the Australian Curriculum.
