Ideas List
- Teach your students about the Australian Values of Care and Compassion by supporting Redkite as they "Go Gold" for the Wallabies this Lions season. Redkite supports children diagnosed with cancer and you can help by staging a "Be Bold Go Gold BBQ" and collect Gold Coin donations for a worthy cause. Redkite has gotten into the Green and Gold Australian spirit by changing its iconic Redkite logo to a Green and Gold logo to cheer on the Qantas Wallabies as they tame the British and Irish Lions.
- Stage a mini British and Irish Lions Tournament at your school - divide students into different teams and have them select a Team Name, design a mascot, design a supporters flag, play some fun games of non-tackle rugby and write about their experience afterwards
- Learn about famous Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander rugby players and their significant contribution to Rugby
- Meet some of the Qantas Wallabies players by taking your students to a Fan Event: rugby.com.au/wallabies/fanevents

- Teach your students the Values of Care and Compassion, Doing Your Best, Fair Go, Freedom, Honesty and Trustworthiness, Integrity, Respect, Responsibility and Understanding, Tolerance and Inclusion and how Rugby Union and other Australian sports promote these values.
