Media Release MEDIA RELEASE 21 February 2014 Navitas to sponsor the Western Force Super Rugby team In a first for the leading global education provider, Navitas has today announced that it has signed a sponsorship deal with the Western Force, the Perth based Super Rugby franchise. Navitas will be a back-of-jersey sponsor for the 2014 season as well as the primary sponsor of the number two jersey as part of a ground breaking move for the Western Force in 2014. “We were initially approached to sponsor an individual jersey number for the season with the Western Force, as part of an innovative solution following the completion of the partnership between the club and its longstanding major sponsor,” said Rod Jones, CEO of Navitas. “The concept of sponsoring just a single jersey was quite appealing for a company like Navitas which has never really sponsored sports teams before. It gave us an opportunity as a leading WA based company to help out a leading WA sports team with international profile without committing to multi-year contracts.” However discussions with Western Force led to a larger sponsorship package with Navitas now a back-of-jersey sponsor for the full Western Force playing squad. “We realised the benefits of providing a bit more support would be worthwhile and were pleased to commit to a higher level package for 2014. We are hopeful that with a greater level of local support the Western Force can represent Western Australia with even higher distinction in season 2014,” said Mr Jones. RugbyWA CEO Mark Sinderberry said he was pleased to partner with another strong Western Australian institution. “Our partnership with Navitas reaffirms our desire to continue to align ourselves with leading Western Australian businesses,” he said. “We have a strong focus on being an active member of the Western Australian community, and we’re delighted to share this objective with an organisation like Navitas.” ------ENDS------ For further information contact: James Fuller Group Manager Public and Investor Relations Navitas Limited Tel: +61 (8) 9314 9617 Mob: +61 488 093 763 About Navitas Navitas is a leading global education provider that offers an extensive range of educational services through three major Divisions to students and professionals including university programs, creative media education, professional education, English language training and settlement services.

  • Japan's Sunwolves Exit Super Rugby As Australia Bid Fails
    18 Established 1961 Sports Tuesday, June 2, 2020 Photo of the day Hamilton slams F1 for silence over Floyd death LONDON: World champion Lewis Hamilton criticised the “biggest of stars” in “white-dominated” Formula One for failing to speak out against racism as protests erupted around the United States. The Mercedes driver warned “I know who you are and I see you” as he accused his fellow drivers of “staying silent” following the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, during his arrest in Minneapolis. The videotaped incident has triggered unrest in several cities and led to an outpouring of condemna- tion from top athletes including Michael Jordan and Serena Williams. “I see those of you who are staying silent, some of you the biggest of stars yet you stay silent in the midst of injustice,” Hamilton wrote on Instagram. “Not a sign from anybody in my industry which of course is a white-dominated sport. I’m one of the only people of colour there yet I stand alone. “I would have thought by now you would see why this happens and say something about it but you can’t stand alongside us. Just know I know who you are and I see you.” Hamilton, the six-time world champion, said he sup- ported only peaceful protesters, not those who have looted stores and set fire to buildings. But he added: “There can be no peace until our so- called leaders make change. This is not just America, this is the UK, this is Spain, this is Italy and all over.

  • Future of Rugby Union in Australia
    Future of rugby union in Australia Submission to the Senate Community Affairs References Committee Submitted by: Dr David Masters 20 September, 2017 I present this submission as a passionate supporter of both rugby and of the recognition of the State of Western Australia as a partner within the Commonwealth of Australia. I am a foundation member of the Western Force and prepared background material for the Western Force during the development of the “Own the Force” initiative. At this time, I was also a member of a small group advising Force CEO Mark Sinderberry on ownership options. 1 Submission summary The basis to this submission is that the by closing the Western Force rugby team the ARU have: • Not acted in the best interests of Australian rugby; • Used a flawed analysis in their assessment of the need to reduce teams; • Been dishonest in attributing the reasons for their financial losses and; • Been disingenuous in their dealing with Western Force supporters, the media and the Australian public. These will be covered, where appropriate within the specified terms of reference. Key conclusions are substantiated within the main document and are summarised as follows: 1. There is no evidence that increasing the number of Australian Super Rugby teams from 3 to 4 and then to 5 has been the cause of Australia’s recent poor performance in Super Rugby. There is evidence that this decline is associated with the ARU decision to allow and even encourage Australian rugby players to join foreign teams. Continued loss of players to Europe with mean rugby will follow Australian hockey.
