Showcasing their rich culture

Local students take centrestage at Adelaide Oval

Recently students from Grant High School and Mount Gambier High School participated in the prestigious South Australia Power Cup (SAPC).

Over the course of three days, the students engaged in a variety of activities and connected with other Aboriginal students all around South Australia.

As part of the SAPC program, the students attended a day at Flinders University.

This invaluable experience provided them with the opportunity to gain insights into future career prospects through presentations by an array of successful guest speakers.

They also participated in football drills and benefited from a cultural information session led by local Kaurna Elder Uncle Michael O’Brien.

On the second and third day, undeterred by the challenging conditions, the students joined forces with the Whyalla academy for the Power Cup.

The matches demonstrated their dedication and commitment to the program.

Adding to the excitement, the students had the privilege of witnessing the opening match for the Sir Doug Nicholls round at Adelaide Oval.

Prior to the game, the talented students showcased their cultural heritage with a remarkable performance on the ova and were then lucky enough to watch the thrilling encounter which saw Port Adelaide emerge victorious over Melbourne.
