2019 Panthers Adopt a School
Once again in 2019, St Nicholas of Myra is taking part in the Panthers Adopt a School program. Players from the first grade squad will visit students six times this year. Students get the opportunity to share their learning with the players, get autographs and ask some questions about what it is like to play in the National Rugby League.
This week, Penrith Panthers players, Billy Burns, Hame Sele and James Fisher- Harris, visited Stage 3 students. Students shared their imaginative writing with the players and also had a chance ask some questions and get some autographs.
