The Huddle Up! Junior participants are getting ready to skate into the holidays. < Back Skating Into The Holidays! Xavier Smith 27 June 2024 The Huddle Up! Junior participants are getting ready to skate into the holidays. Our Huddle Up! Junior participants from Flemington are ending the term on a high—skating into the holidays with two thrilling weeks of skateboarding at Kensington Skatepark! After the overwhelming success of last year’s introduction to the sport, we brought back the boards and ramps for a mid-year celebration of movement, confidence, and fun. Throughout Term 2, our young people have experienced a dynamic and diverse sporting program that included basketball—thanks to the incredible support of Westgate Basketball —and hockey, delivered in partnership with the passionate team at Brunswick Hockey Club . Each week, the Flemington group have embraced the chance to try something new, learning new skills, building confidence, and forming strong friendships through sport. The final weeks of skateboarding have brought a special energy to the group. There’s something uniquely empowering about rolling down a ramp for the first time or nailing a new trick after a few falls. Our young skaters didn’t just learn how to balance on a board—they learned to back themselves, bounce back from setbacks, and support one another along the way. One parent shared their appreciation for the program, saying: “Huddle Up! is a great program for children to get fit and physically active. My son has met so many new friends.” As the term wraps up, it’s clear that Huddle Up! Junior continues to offer more than just sport—it’s a place where children grow, connect, and thrive in a safe and inclusive environment. We’re proud of every Flemington participant for bringing energy and enthusiasm to each session, and we can’t wait to see what’s next for them when we return next term. Until then, enjoy the break—and keep rolling! Previous Next

Confidence and communication skills to amplify ideas and stories. < Back Helping Others To Find Their True North John King 2 Aug 2023 Confidence and communication skills to amplify ideas and stories. Employment Experiences are paid opportunities for young people to contribute their skills to a real-world project and are offered to successful participants from The Huddle’s Game Changers program. Participants are immersed in a supportive environment, designed to build their confidence, further develop skills, and amplify their ideas, while gaining relevant experiences that will benefit their career aspirations. Suleiman is 24-year-old male from Point Cook, who participated in our Autumn Game Changers program. He, along with 19 other participants were posed the question: "How can we tell the stories of elite athletes in a unique and engaging way?" and taken through a series of workshops designed to develop transferrable and project management skills, through a media and communications lens. Working in small groups, Suleiman and his peers used ideation strategies to develop and refine a solution to the central question, before creating a media and communications plan for their idea, with an accompanying slide deck, which would be presented to a panel of industry experts at our Pitch Event and Networking session. “I enjoyed meeting new people, being creative by brainstorming, collaborating with a team and using the 'yes and' mentality. It helped me understand that every idea has the potential to be a great idea.” After presenting his ideas at the Pitch Event, Suleiman was able to build his networks with professionals from the media and communications industry, learning about their career journeys and sharing his own aspirations of forging a career in creative media. Suleiman had displayed outstanding enthusiasm, professionalism, and reliability through his participation in Game Changers and was offered one of five Employment Experience positions, getting an opportunity contribute his own ideas to the next series of True North videos, before interviewing elite athletes from our AFL and AFLW programs. “Game Changers has been really rewarding. This program has provided me with a platform to be creative and work on an exciting project. Working alongside elite athletes was the best part. A great experience.” Game Changers Employment Experiences will continue to provide unique and relevant opportunities for young people to learn new skills, grow professionally and amplify their ideas to prove they truly belong in their aspiring career industries.
