Working with Juniors, Country and Schools to develop constitutions that supported collaboration

Working with ASRU and then RA to ensure continued relevance and support of Schools Rugby

Organised and co-ordinated the Australian Schools Championships after covid

Along with Alex Butt, implemented the girls sevens Invitationals at the Aus Schools Champs as exhibition games

The invitationals were the precursor to the Australian Schoolgirls Sevens competition held at the ASRU Champs and the forming of the Aust Schoolgirls Sevens team

Worked with RA to bring together both schools and Australian Juniors at the National Junior Championships in July.

Multiple working groups regarding association (CAS) game scheduling

Instrumental in removing full school fixtures from the long weekend in June which directly affected the NSW State Championships

To support the work of the 3 groups that make up NSW Juniors

• The role is a supportive one to ensure that the good work done by all 3 groups continues
• To ensure recognition of all the volunteers at all competitions and levels
• To ensure that all 3 groups are represented at the NSW Board level and issues are conveyed appropriately

To continue to work toward a genuine schools competition that reinvigorates and reinstates the Waratah Shield as the premier age group competition

To instigate the process that provides a “home” for NSW Juniors
