School Every Day

Try for 5! is a primary school program focused on improving school attendance and fostering positive behaviour among students.

Leveraging the strong Cowboys brand and the involvement of high-profile Cowboys players and ambassadors, our program offers students and their families the opportunity to earn valued incentives.

These include Cowboys merchandise, certificates, family prizes, personalized video messages and exclusive conference calls with both current and former players.

These rewards are a testament to the students' dedication to better attendance and behaviour, and we believe they play a pivotal role in shaping a brighter future for our students and communities.
