The 4th edition of the Schools Future Fit Program was staged once again at the world-class Pat Rafter Arena on 10 September.
Over 300 students from Queensland were excited to attend their first Youth of Tomorrow’s national education program – fit with a commemorative education presentation, tennis drills on court and a tour of the Pat Rafter Arena.
The Schools Future Fit Program highlights the value of students and how they can fulfill their individual potential. The Program allows students to engage, be creative and social, and develop personal aspirations for their future.
