Western United is continuing to connect with the community in the west of Victoria, entering into a first-ever Community School Partnership with Bacchus Marsh Grammar (BMG).
The new deal will see Western United support the BMG Elite Sports Program with visits and engagement throughout the school term and co-branding on students’ uniforms.
BMG students and staff will also have opportunities for exclusive training viewings at Ironbark Fields, and invitations to matchdays at United’s home games in Tarneit.
Western United General Manager Community Development & Partnerships Aylin Bagdadi said this partnership would open up new avenues for the Club to engage the community and encourage the growth of students.
“We are thrilled to welcome Bacchus Marsh Grammar to the Western United family and to launch our brand-new Community School Partner offerings,” she said.
“As we continue to build our community at Ironbark Fields in Tarneit, we are increasingly passionate about finding new ways to welcome everyone in the West to be part of our family.
“We are eagerly looking forward to working together alongside Bacchus Marsh Grammar this season to elevate the next generation of athletes, scholars and leaders in the West.”
BMG Deputy Principal Sarah Hunter said Western United’s commitment to the region made this partnership a vital one for the community.
“Bacchus Marsh Grammar is thrilled to partner with Western United to create invaluable opportunities for our students to grow as learnings, fostering personal development in and outside of the classroom,” she said.
“Western United’s ethos of embodying the aspiration, hard-working and successful spirit of the people of Melbourne’s west resonates deeply with our School’s values, inspiring students to strive for excellence, resilience and teamwork in all aspects of their lives.”
Western United will continue to partner with schools, clubs and organisations in the west of Victoria to empower individuals in the region to achieve greatness.
