Schools to be visited include Wollondilly Anglican College; Hill Top PS; Colo Vale PS; St Thomas Aquinas; Bowral PS; Mittagong PS; St Michael Mittagong; Moss Vale PS; Moss Vale HS and
Robertson PS.In February, the annual Wests Tigers School Blitz will again see players visit more than 25,000 children in the Balmain region (Monday, February 6) and Macarthur/Liverpool region (Monday, February 13) as part of the Club’s ongoing commitment to their junior rugby league areas.
Each student will receive a Wests Tigers showbag and have the chance to see the players up close.

Well done WT’s!

Glad to hear.

I wonder what’s in the showbag? Some free tickets I hope, at least for the trial game. Or failing that, a coupon for a free drink at the game. Come to think of it, we should be doing that for all our games. Anyone under 16 gets a voucher for a free drink (soft drink of course). Sorry to wander off topic slightly, just typing as I think!
Anyway 25,000 students is a massive effort in a month. Congrats to all involved.

We had an apprentice who was aptly named Showbag.
Probably for the same reason Alf

Probably vouchers or something linked to sponsors products…AMF Bowling was a common thing in these though dunno if theyre still a sponsor
Well done WTs and hopefully the Wests Jnr clubs get behind this as well
Its a shame some schools dont see the benefits of these healthy living visits…my sons old primary (well more spercifically the crusty old principal) in the balmain district never was interested despit me alerting her to these visits year after year

That’s very disappointing. Even if you didn’t like league or sport surely you can see the benefits of encouraging healthy living. Having kids training or playing sport is certainly better than them getting up to something illegal… These paths often get their start at primary school especially in the later years.

I never liked school teachers when I was at school and I still don’t. I think they come from another Planet!!

Obviously never in my class Flash! Sometimes generalisations hurt people’s feelings

Don’t they just…Glad to see the boys out and about. Pity I didn’t get that job I applied for at Moss Vale PS … I don’t think they’ll come to Canowindra. I think the Panthers on the Prowl come out to Central Western NSW though.

I have volunteered to help pack some of those 25,000 showbags. I hope there are heaps of volunteers otherwise its going to be a very loooong day.
