Kumho Helping Empower Next Generation Through Bulldogs Game Changers Program
Kumho Tyre Australia, through the partnership with NRL club Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs are helping to empower local teenagers through the newly introduced Game-Changers program.
The
Bulldogs Game-Changers has been developed as a unique and authentic educational program designed to equip high school students with essential life skills. The program is a community collaboration uniting schools, industry, law enforcement and the spirit of sport to empower students to confidently navigate real-life challenges.
As part of the program, Kumho Tyre Australia supports students through a road safety topic that is one of seven core topics that include: mental health, physical health, financial literacy, safe social media use, career planning and leadership.
All sessions are run in and around the home of the Bulldogs, Belmore Sports Ground, and have been reviewed and endorsed by the NSW Police Force which is a huge show of confidence in the program’s relevance and integrity.
Six schools within the local Canterbury-Bankstown area have signed up to complete the program, with students from Punchbowl Boys High School recently completing the Kumho Road Safety course.
Kumho Tyre Sales and Marketing Director, David Basha, knows that supporting the youth of today is extremely important.
“The youth of today are the next generation and ensuring they are equipped with the necessary knowledge is important for not only themselves, but the community in general,” Basha said.
“Our partnership with the Bulldogs is much more than just supporting the NRL team. We have worked closely with the club to build a program that we believe will make a contribution to the community and support the leaders of tomorrow.”
“We look forward to the program being rolled out across many more schools both in the local area and other regions the Bulldogs work closely with.”
Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs CEO, Aaron Warburton was thrilled to launch the Game-Changers program and is appreciative of the support of Kumho Tyre Australia.
"The Bulldogs have always been known as 'The Community Club,' but we actually got back to basics and started really discussing what that meant, what we were trying to achieve, and what the possible outcomes could be,” Warburton said.
"We're pleased with the support we've had from NSW Police, who have given the tick of approval for all seven subjects, and the Australian Defence Force, who are backing the course. We have a number of businesses (including Kumho Tyre) who have really resonated with what we are trying to achieve.”
"I'd like to thank everybody who has supported this initiative so far, and we couldn't be happier with the launch of the Game-Changers program."
