Officers for League bilong Laif, a sport for development program, are actively engaged at Gerehu Primary School aiming to promote education, health, respect, social inclusion, and gender equality through rugby league whilst collaborating closely with teachers. Mr. Saven Nawen, one of the dedicated teachers at Gerehu Primary School faces the daily challenge of managing student attitudes in his classroom of 49 students, consisting of 26 girls and 23 boys. "Gerehu Primary is big and managing student attitudes here presents a significant challenge." "But I strive to do my best, though at times it's an uphill battle." The LBL team inspires children to embrace school, develop positive behaviours, and foster mutual respect. Mr. Nawen credits the LBL program for the notable shifts in student behavior and attitudes, especially during their engaging sessions. “When the LBL team arrives, the students are visibly elated." “This program has greatly improved attendance in my class, tackling absenteeism head-on." Notably, Mr. Nawen emphasizes the noticeable improvement in the classroom atmosphere, with boys and girls learning to respect each other. "I've witnessed behavioral transformations in my students, and that brings me immense joy." Praising the program for its positive impact on his students' behaviour and academic engagement, Mr. Nawen expressed his appreciation. "I believe LBL has the potential to empower our students, paving the way for a brighter future." He envisions an expanded reach for the LBL program, extending its benefits to more schools and gaining parental support.
