Make Sarah Redfern High a sports school
Sign Now
We support the parents of Minto's young sporting elite who are calling on the State Government to declare Sarah Redfern High an official sports school to stop the exodus of talent from the region.
We are fed up with the talent drain from the Macarthur region and with children being forced to travel to Fairfield or Wollongong to attend a specialised sporting school. Also, too often parents choose not to send their children to Westfields Sports High School in Fairfield because it was simply too far for them to travel. There needs to be a local alternative.
We want the school's already successful sports programs recognised by the government. If successful, we want to open the school to the sporting elite from across the region.
Sarah Redfern High School opened in the early 80s, boasts a plethora of former students who have gone on to become elite sportsmen and women including rugby league players John Skandalis, Kevin and Ken McGuinness, the three Paea brothers, two who currently play for the Roosters and one for the Titans and up and soccer greats, the Kharmis sisters just to name a few.
Minto has also been home to dozens of sporting greats who went straight to Westsfields from primary school including Eels players Krisnan Inu and Jarryd Hayne and Melbourne Storm players Israel Folau and the Afamasaga brothers.
Please keep our junior sports stars near their homes and let them realise their potentially locally. Make Sarah Redfern High an official sports school and stop the exodus of talent from the region.
