SPORTING PARTNERSHIPS
Building Stronger Communities Through Sporting Partnerships.
At Coulson Operations, we understand the profound impact that sport can have on building strong, connected communities. Our long-standing partnership with the Gold Coast SUNS has been a cornerstone of our approach to community engagement, blending the spirit of sport with our commitment to early childhood education. Our head office is strategically located next door to the SUNS Football Club, symbolising our close relationship with the team and the local community.
A Strong Partnership with the Gold Coast SUNS
Through our connection with the SUNS, we’ve created a unique synergy that has positively impacted not just the children in our care but their families and the broader community. This partnership has led to the development of multiple Kool Beanz SUNS centres, embedding the values of sport, teamwork, and resilience into the fabric of our early education programs. These centres are designed to provide a supportive environment for children to grow, learn, and be inspired by the energy and passion that comes with professional sport.
Nurturing a Love for Sport from a Young Age
Our partnership with the Gold Coast SUNS extends beyond education—it’s about fostering a love for the sport from a young age. By integrating sport-related activities and experiences into our curriculum, we aim to instill a passion for AFL and physical activity in the next generation. Through play and structured engagement, children develop not only physical skills but also an appreciation for teamwork, dedication, and discipline.
Deep Integration into the Local Community
In addition to our direct involvement with the SUNS, our childcare centres are deeply embedded into the fabric of the local community, with three of our centres now connected to the club’s ethos and culture. This integration ensures that children benefit from a holistic approach to education, where learning and growth go hand in hand with sporting excellence.
Expanding Our Vision Across the Country
As we continue to build upon our successful partnership with the SUNS, Coulson Operations is actively expanding its footprint in the sporting sector. Our vision is to extend our model of excellence to more AFL clubs and sports organisations across Australia, creating more opportunities for children and their families to engage with the values that sport brings—teamwork, passion, and personal growth.
Nurturing the Next Generation of Leaders
Through these growing partnerships, Coulson Operations is proud to continue our mission of supporting local communities, nurturing the next generation of athletes and leaders, and providing the highest quality education to help children flourish both on and off the field.
