The NSW Police Force is joining forces with community, sporting and government agencies to educate even more school students about domestic and family violence, with the expansion of the DV Awareness Cup in 2025.
The South Coast Police District, along with Group 7 Rugby League, NSW Rugby League and the NRL will host more than 200 students from Year 9 to 11 from the Shoalhaven region, in an under 16s rugby league (men’s) and league tag (women’s) gala day on Thursday 19 June 2025.
The DV Awareness Cup aims to bring awareness to, educate and encourage people to take a stand against domestic and family violence.
Now, in its third year, the event will return to Bomaderry Sporting Fields and expand from five to six local schools – St Johns the Evangelist Nowra will join Nowra High School, Vincentia High School, Shoalhaven High School, Bomaderry High School and Ulladulla High School to compete for the DV Awareness Cup.
A merit-based boys’ and girls’ team will be selected at the conclusion of the event, with selected players earning a trip to the St George Illawarra Dragons’ training facility in Wollongong.
