The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs are proud to announce the continuation of the Club's partnership with Young Academics Learning Centre for the 2025 NRL season.
Previously featured on the sleeves of the NRL jersey for the past three seasons, Young Academics will be emblazoned on the front of playing shorts in 2025 in another positive sign of their commitment to the Club.
Since their establishment in 2009, the Young Academics Early Learning Centre has emphasised individuality in their education process, with a long-term vision to provide Australian families with a dynamic and holistic approach that sets the foundation for lifelong social, physical and academic benefits.
With strong links in Western Sydney and the Canterbury-Bankstown district with 59 centres in operation across Sydney, Young Academics and the Bulldogs have partnered across several community initiatives including the World’s Greatest Shave, Christmas Gift Drives, Book Week and working alongside OzHarvest and will continue to do in 2025 and beyond.
Bulldogs CEO Aaron Warburton highlighted the importance of the continuation of the partnership moving forward.
"Young Academics has been a fantastic partner since 2022, and we’re proud to continue this relationship in 2025,” he said.
“Their commitment to education, family, and community aligns perfectly with our values as The Family Club. Beyond their presence on our NRL kit, their impact extends through meaningful community initiatives that make a real difference.
“We’re excited to keep working together to create opportunities that benefit both young learners and Bulldogs families alike."
“At Young Academics, we believe in building strong foundations for children not just in education, but in community and wellbeing. That’s why we’re proud to extend our partnership with the Bulldogs,” said Young Academics Group Managing Director, James Kazzi.
“We know that movement and play are essential for early childhood development. Through our extended partnership, we’re looking forward to delivering even more opportunities for children to engage in active, healthy lifestyles.
We’re both dedicated to fostering resilience, teamwork, and a lifelong love of learning, whether it’s in the classroom or on the field.
“This partnership means more opportunities for families to engage with the Club, and more ways for us to give back to our community. We’ll be working closely with the Bulldogs to create exciting experiences that bring our families closer together.
“We see this partnership growing in ways that continue to support children and families, through education, play, and community engagement. Young Academics and the Bulldogs are aligned in a vision that extends beyond the game, shaping future generations both on and off the field.”
