The Newcastle Knights
Proud sponsors of the Newcastle Knights' Indigenous round
The University of Newcastle is proud to partner with the Newcastle Knights.
The University is a sponsor of the Newcastle Knights' Indigenous round. With more than 1,500 Indigenous graduates, the University is deeply committed to improving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, wellbeing and educational opportunities.
“We’re excited to stand with the Newcastle Knights and the National Rugby League to celebrate and promote Indigenous culture,” said Pro Vice-Chancellor - Indigenous Strategy and Leadership, Nathan Towney.
Our partnership with the Newcastle Knights helps to provide enriching experiences to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander high school students through events like the Aboriginal Numeracy Day. This fun and engaging event develops mathematic skills using rugby league activities.
The University proudly supports the Newcastle Knights players with their studies through our Sports Scholar Program. This program is designed to support high achieving athletes to fulfill their academic
potential while also balancing their sporting commitments.
