Sporting Horizons brought our community together for a brilliant day of sport, careers and opportunity.
It was fantastic to see so many people come together to explore the many opportunities and career pathways that exist within the world of sport.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended, got involved, asked questions and had a go at the activities throughout the day.
We’re also incredibly grateful to all of the organisations, stallholders and providers who gave their time to share their knowledge, experience and opportunities. Your involvement is what made Sporting Horizons such an engaging and worthwhile event.
And a special thank you to Clancy from Outback Film Club for capturing the day and putting together this fantastic recap .
