·         Olympians Visit Schools


Through our partnership with the Former Origin Greats (F.O.Gs) and their rewards program, term 2 saw Olympians Melanie Schlanger (swimming); Sharlene Stratton (diving) and Felicity Abram (triathlon), visit the trainees at our various schools across Brisbane.

In conjunction with the Olympians visit with the trainees from Wynnum North High School, students from Wynnum West State School were also visited by the Olympians.

During their visits they discussed their daily routines, competing at the highest level in their chosen sports and the necessary discipline and dedication needed to achieve set goals. These visits were very well received by all the trainees. 

Throughout their visits they also put the trainees through their paces with some basic core and pilates exercises, which resulted in some funny moments.
