Adam Nahal, Head of Health, PE and sport, Australian International Academy

In 2016, Adam Nahal, along with Rowan Sawers, director of umpiring for the Essendon District Football League, created the Umpiring Academy at the Australian International Academy’s King Khalid Campus in Coburg. The academy introduces people from multicultural backgrounds into umpiring, giving them a 10-week course in umpiring basics and then linking them with a local umpiring group. Nahal was also integral to his school’s nomination for Best Secondary School of the Year (Non-government) at the 2018 and 2019 Australian Education Awards.
