The Power Cup

The competition has wound up for 2010

The Aboriginal Power Cup Carnival took place from Thursday 10 to Saturday 12 June 2010. The two-day footy carnival took place on Friday 11 June & Saturday 12 June.

Congratulations to Para West Adult Campus boys and Christies Beach High School girls who are the winners of the 2010 Aboriginal Power Cup.

The carnival was a huge success with over 270 students from 17 schools participating in 2010. Congratulations to all schools who took part in the competition. You were all deadly!

But it wasn't all just about footy. This year students had the opportunity to complete a SACE unit of work through participation in the program.

Throughout Terms 1 & 2 participants developed their leadership and career skills, met with stars of the Port Adelaide Football Club and got their teams ready for the competition. This work involved recruiting mentors and coaches, designing team's Guernseys, writing a newspaper article and contributing information to this website.

During the two day carnival students took part in a career expo and workshops to talk about their career aspirations and how to achieve their goals.
