“We were fortunate to be involved in the Olympics Unleashed program. Jess was fantastic, very engaging and personable. Both students and teachers enjoyed the presentation and the messages portrayed were very valuable. The messages and examples that were shared by Jess and her ability to then relate these to everyday and school life made it relevant for the students.”

“Thank you so much for sending Claire Arthur to our school on Friday. She was absolutely brilliant and inspiring for both students and adults. She spoke so well and really related to the students. There was not a sound from any of the students throughout her whole presentation, except at the end when they were so excited to ask her questions. What a wonderful role model she is and a wonderful representative for Adelaide.”

Available to SA High Schools

Olympics Unleashed is free and available to all high schools across South Australia, from metro to regional and remote.

Aimed at Years 7-9, Olympians and athletes aspiring for the Paris Olympics and beyond will share lessons from their Olympic journey that every student can learn from.

Presented in an interactive and engaging way, athletes will share how they set goals, overcome challenges and demonstrate resilience throughout their athletic journey.

Scheduled around school and athlete availability, the visits also include curriculum aligned lesson plans.
