Squadron Energy’s First Nations Engagement Facilitator Justin Toomey-White, who captains and coaches the first grade Wellington Cowboys side, said this visit was a great opportunity for kids to get involved with the game while celebrating NAIDOC Week.

"We’re proud that our team can help facilitate programs that foster positivity throughout the community while helping to celebrate the rich history of NIADOC Week”

The Dragons visited St Marys College on Wednesday, running games and activities with students from different classes and year groups.

On Thursday morning they joined Wellington Public School to serve the students breakfast before running a clinic and games as part of the school’s NAIDOC Week event.
