Confident Girls abound… …in Queensland Pass on the inspiration — When Queensland Firebirds star midcourt defender Gabi Simpson visited St Pauls Catholic College in Woodridge for its Active After-school community program she did just that. It was game on for the first time for many of the students who mainly come from immigrant, refugee or indigenous backgrounds. Her visit inspired a love of the game. This, and a visit from Netball Queensland, as part of inclusion NetSetGO in the region, now sees a large number of students playing for the Logan City Netball Association. …and the Northern Territory Score the learning benefits — That’s exactly what happened to the students at the Wugularr School after starting a netball team. The girls play in the Katherine Netball Association, an hour and 20 minutes away. Teacher Sarah Mullucks says since starting netball there are noticeable improvements in student attendance rates, cooperation and learning habits. Netball has helped the girls reach greater heights with the Wugularr team recently playing in the Katherine Netball Association grand final and two of the girls playing in the NT Championships! …from South Australia Shoot for confidence — With inclusion NetSetGO the special school students at Port Lincoln did just that. There is only one special school on the Eyre Peninsula. For these South Australian country school kids, it was exciting to have coaching from Australian Diamond Rebecca Bulley. Rebecca’s love of netball spread to all with the entire school participating in the weekly NetSetGO program. Many of the students now hope to play netball in their local competition! …to Victoria Reach out to the community — That’s what happened when Netball Victoria ran a six week program to teach netball to the children at the Japanese School in Caulfield. The coach stepped into action with the help of a translator and lots of active demonstrations taught the children new skills and even the rules of netball. At the start of the program, the majority of children didn’t even know what netball was. By the end of the program the children were playing a full game of netball! …in Western Australia Centre on goals — This was literally the focus for Christ the King Djarindjin Lombadina students when they set up their own court with some help from Netball WA. Students and staff stepped into action, making the most of netball equipment and resources from the NetSetGO program, culminating in a much-loved netball court. The two netball posts are front and centre of the minds of most of the school’s students, proud because they not just built it but play on it! …across the waters to Tasmania Game on for everyone — Netball’s ability to include all was celebrated in Tasmania during the State League’s ‘One Netball Round’. It was game on with the round encouraging everyone to get involved in netball. Players, irrespective of their ability, age, cultural background or gender scored goals, showing the game of netball is for all! …in New South Wales Be a super-sub — Netball subbed on to the courts with NetSetGO at the Old Guildford Public School, benefitting the school’s culturally and linguistically diverse students. Netball is breaking down language and cultural barriers. As the school’s children discover a love for the sport through the NetSetGO program, it boosts their physical and mental health, providing fun and a sense of belonging.
