Our first-year Vocational Education and Training (VET) Sport and Recreation students recently welcomed the Bendigo Umpires Association as part of their unit: Continually Improving Officiating Skills and Knowledge.

During the session, students explored the roles in AFL of field, boundary, and goal umpires, developing their understanding of positioning, decision-making, and communication. With hands-on guidance, they built skills they can take into their own games and confidently apply in real situations.

A big thank you to Jack Osborne for his time, effort, and expertise in supporting our students’ learning.
