Port Power Carnival
On Friday the 8th and Saturday the 9th August, 76 of our students and 5 of our staff were involved in the Port Adelaide Power Multicultural Cup. Students had been learning and practicing Australian Rules Football for many weeks and they were very excited to be able to be involved in the event.
Students were at Alberton oval on the Friday where they played a range of games and were able to enjoy different presentations from a range of community groups. One of our students, Ehra Santome, was selected as the Ambassador of the program and was interviewed by the club about her experiences, while also meeting players and being presented with a football signed by all the team.
On the Saturday evening, we had nearly 150 students and families attend the Port Adelaide vs Fremantle game. Ehra was able to present the game ball to the umpires on the field and all of the staff and students were able to do a lap of honour around the ground before seeing a great game of football.
We were very proud of our students’ excellent efforts and they enjoyed their time greatly. Many of them said that they had grown in their teamwork, sense of fair play, skill development and learnt to communicate, work together and care for others through the program, while also making new friends. We are looking forward to again being involved next year.
