Vote for an outstanding AFL School AmbassadorWednesday, July 5, 2017 - 2:06 PM

NOW is the time to recognise teachers who have run outstanding Australian Football programs in their schools as part the AFL School Ambassador of the Year awards.

Two deserving winners will claim a trip for two to a 2017 AFL Finals game in Melbourne including flights and accommodation.

Finalists in each of the six categories are invited to attend the AFL School Ambassador of the Year Awards night where the winners will be announced. Nominees must be registered School Ambassadors.

The AFL School Ambassador (AFLSA) program was introduced into WA schools in 2004 to produce enhanced educational outcomes in literacy, numeracy, health and physical education by providing quality resources to schools and recognising and rewarding teachers who strongly promote football in their school and community.

Over the past 12 years there have been more than 50 category winners from nearly 30 different schools across the state.

In 2016 the WAFC received more than 100 nominations that were shortlisted to 35 finalists.

Nominations for the 2017 AFL School Ambassador of the Year are now open and close on July 7.
