Nearly 250 students across the Central Coast are lacing up their boots this term as they take part in the Jets:LEARN program delivered by the Newcastle Jets in partnership with Greater Bank.
Among local schools involved are St Philip’s Christian College at Gosford and Mannering Park Public School.
Aligned with the NSW Personal Development, Health, and Physical Education (PDHPE) syllabus, the four-week program includes football-based activities that teach vital life skills such as collaboration, problem-solving, and resilience.
This dynamic initiative is not just about learning football skills – Jets:LEARN is designed to keep children active, foster teamwork, and build self-confidence in a fun and engaging environment.
Adding to its appeal are exclusive video tutorials led by Newcastle Jets players, bringing the excitement of professional football straight into the classroom.
Newcastle Jets Customer and Community General Manager Matt Starr emphasised the broader value of the program.
“Jets:LEARN is about more than football – it’s about inspiring students to stay active, work together, and believe in themselves,” he said.
“It’s fantastic to see schools on the Central Coast getting involved and helping their students grow both on and off the field.”
Greater Bank’s Chief Distribution Officer Emma Brokate said the program seamlessly combined the joy of sport with life lessons that stayed with students long after the final whistle.
“The positive impact Jets:LEARN is having in classrooms across the Central Coast is inspiring, and we’re proud to partner with the Newcastle Jets to make it happen,” she said.
Jets:LEARN has become a highlight for schools across NSW with more than13,000 students statewide embracing the program this year.
The program is open to all primary schools across NSW at no cost.
Schools that register receive access to a comprehensive curriculum, video content, and supporting resources to enhance classroom engagement.
