A total of 29 Panthers players have been selected across boys and girls teams at the national carnival, alongside five staff members involved in coaching and support roles.
It is one of the largest Panthers representations at an Australian Schools carnival, highlighting the strength of the club’s pathways program and the depth of talent coming through the junior representative system.
