Congratulations

Congratulations

PORT ADELAIDE NEXT GENERATION ACADEMY

Congratulations to Year 10 student, Asha Meers (left), and Year 9 student Zahlia Niemann (right), who have been selected in the Port Adelaide Next Generation Academy.

Asha and Zahlia were selected for the academy after strong performances playing for Woodville-West Torrens in the SANFL Club Championships at the end of last season. They have joined many of the most talented U15 players from across the state undertaking this wonderful AFLW experience program. Next month the Port Adelaide Academy will commence a series of games against the Adelaide Crows Academy.

This is an amazing AFLW pathway opportunity for both Asha and Zahlia, and all female footballers across the state and we wish them the best of luck in all their future endeavours.

THIRD WEEK OF LENT

We are now in the third week of Lent with the Project Compassion story of Janice, a Wagilak woman and traditional dancer who tells her family’s stories through movements handed down over generations.

Like many remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, Janice faces a range of challenges – low employment and education, financial hardship, poorer health, and lower life expectancy.

With your help, Caritas Australia supports Djilpin Arts Aboriginal Corporation, which operates a centre for traditional and contemporary Aboriginal arts and culture, providing employment and generating income for local communities.

Janice believes that Djilpin Arts’ work is essential to create opportunities for young people to stay on-country, to share intergenerational knowledge between elders and the younger generation,to promote healing, and to keep culture alive.

Watch a short film about Janice’s story here.
