Moses Embi and former Mary Immaculate student Chris Lawrence are two Wests Tigers players from the NRL that came to visit primary students on Tuesday. Their message to students was that rugby isn’t just about winning, it’s about teamwork and respecting one another.

We learned that respecting your teachers and peers doesn’t just mean to do what you are told or be nice, it means we need to cooperate and work together. This also helped us to learn that we need to respect ourselves as much as we respect each other. We need to eat healthily, have good hygiene and get plenty of sleep.

Our Captains Emmanuel and Alexa shook hands with the players and received posters to give to everyone.
