On Thursday the 21st of May, we held our Dreamtime Expo at the G ❤️💛🖤

The day was filled with deadly energy, inspiring guest speakers, plenty of laughs and unforgettable moments for all the young people involved.

A massive thank you to everyone who helped make the day so special, and to our amazing special guests — Michael Mitchell, designer of our 2026 Dreamtime guernsey, Becca Hatch, Megzy Waters, Michael McLean, Uncle Collins, Aunty Pam, Jackson Peters, Rhyan Mansell and Maurice Rioli — for sharing your stories, knowledge and culture with us.

Huge shoutout to the 300 students who attended and all the staff who helped bring this incredible day together.

So proud to see our young leaders learning, connecting, growing and having an absolute blast ❤️💛🖤

Day 4 🤍 Our final day of the Year 11 & 12 REAL Program and our last day together. We wrapped up with our closing ceremony, where the Young Deadly Leaders shared their experiences and reflected on the questions we set at the beginning of our journey. So special to have all the parents and Richmond staff there supporting and celebrating them every step of the way ✨

Day 3 of our Year 11 & 12 REAL Program 🏉🔥

We were lucky to welcome some very special guests from both the AFL & AFLW programs!

From the AFLW side, we had Rebecca Miller and Libby Graham, and from the men’s program, Maurice Rioli and Rhyan Mansell.

An awesome opportunity for our young mob to hear their stories, learn from their experiences, and be inspired both on and off the field 💛🖤

On the 13th of April we kicked off our Year 11 and 12 REAL program with the arrival of our deadly young mob 🙌🏾

We got straight into our values rope, where everyone shared and wrote down their mob, the values they stand by, and the people they carry with them wherever they go. Strong starts and connections 🖤💛❤️
