NRLW players Romy Teitzel and Gayle Broughton are helping young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students get ahead of the game, boosting confdence and leadership skills for employment opportunities as part of the Beyond the Broncos Leadership Camp.

“Since being part of the Beyond the Broncos Leadership Camp, my confdence has grown and I was able to get this amazing job.

“Setting an example for my family, I’m taking on more responsibility and I’m learning a bit more about different areas and I’m also teaching younger ones as well.

“I enjoy teaching the younger ones because I like to teach people different ways of learning things.”

Beyond the Broncos Ambassador Romy Teitzel says she’s proud to be a part of the program and hopes to inspire other students like Jayda to pursue successful careers.

“Sport is such a good way to connect and learn from each other,” Romy says.

“So having programs like Beyond the Broncos and the Leadership Camp means we can work with the students to unlock their confdence, build their skills and help pave the way for a brighter future.”

“I’m so excited to be a part of this program and to see this kind of success, this early on, it really shows just how successful programs like these are in our local schools.”

Christine Halliwell, General Manager of Community & Government Programs at the Brisbane Broncos, emphasises the program’s effectiveness in shaping the next generation of leaders in Northern New South Wales.

Linking cultural identity with academic achievement, more than 250 students across the Northern New South Wales region are enrolled in this years’ program, an initiative of the Brisbane Broncos to inspire, empower and assist with educational opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.

The Leadership Camp is an important opportunity for young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to come together and celebrate their culture and what they’ve achieved through the support of Beyond the Broncos.
