Taimana Elers: School to Work Journey
Taimana Elers is a proud Aboriginal and Maori man from the Worimi/Awabakal and TuWharetoa/Tainui tribes, currently living on Awabakal land in Newcastle. A gifted athlete across multiple sports, leader in his community and role model to his younger sisters. Being part of the NRL School to Work program has provided many opportunities to spread his wings wider within the culture, community, and leadership spaces. The NRL School to Work program gave him the confidence to be a role model, make positive change, and after being the NRL ambassador in 2022 he was successful in being elected school captain for his final year of schooling.
National Rugby League respects and honours the Traditional Custodians of the land and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and future. We acknowledge the stories, traditions and living cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on the lands we meet, gather and play on.
