The Rock Central School Wins NRMA Everyday Sporting Legends


The Rock Central School Wins NRMA Everyday Sporting Legends

Author: NRMA MediaDate: 28 January 2010

The Rock Central School has 10,000 reasons to celebrate the New Year as one of the lucky winners of the 2009 NRMA Everyday Sporting Legends program.

NRMA Motoring & Services and Rebel Sport teamed up for the first time last year to support sport in NSW and ACT communities with up to $150,000 in Rebel Sport gift cards up for grabs.

NRMA Director Graham Blight said the NRMA was flooded with entries from primary and secondary schools, community groups, sports teams and individuals wanting their chance to receive a $10,000, $5,000 or $500 Rebel Sport gift card.

"The Rock Central School was one of five winners that received a $10,000 Rebel Sport gift card with their impressive online entry to secure much needed portable shade marquees for the school grounds and use at sports carnivals," Mr Blight said.

"The school has a serious lack of shaded areas for its 160 enrolled students to take part in a range of activities and the portable shade marquees will provide much needed relief from the scorching summer sun.

"The school's online profile page at www.nrmalegends.com.au included a humorous video presentation which showed students fighting over the available shade.

"Students in the presentation also said they hated going away to sporting carnivals as they always ended up looking like tomatoes."

The Rock Central School's entry also cited economic issues and limited financial support from the local community in recent years as the reasons for its entry to the NRMA program. Funding priorities have had to focus on class educational programs.

Mr Blight said the quality of entries for the first ever NRMA Sporting Legends Program was extremely impressive with a host of stories, photos and video footage submitted to support a variety of sporting goals from NSW and ACT communities.

Rebel Sport is part of the NRMA's More4Members rewards program which gives Members access to a vast range of instant discounts and benefits.
