The Her Future in Sport Hub is a key initiative of the Minns Labor Government's women's sport strategy, "Play Her Way", a four-year plan to get more NSW women and girls playing, and staying involved in, sport at every level.
Rugby league host and commentator Emma Lawrence marked the launch by returning to her former high school, Mount Carmel Catholic College at Varroville near Campbelltown, where she shared her journey from student to sports broadcaster with senior female students considering a career in sport.
The Her Future in Sport Hub features a range of fun and teenager-friendly resources for students, schools and sports organisations to help young women discover the diverse career pathways available to them in sport.
Developed by the NSW Office of Sport with guidance from its Teenage Advisory Committee for women and girls' sport, the Hub features sports career and job information, tools and resources, inspiring stories of women working across the sports industry, and a gamified quiz to help girls identify a career in sport that suits them.
During the visit to Mount Carmel Catholic College at Varroville near Campbelltown, Emma shared her own journey - from student to rugby league host and commentator - with a group of senior female students considering a career in sport. Her story is proof of what becomes possible when young women are shown what is achievable.
