Saints in Schools
Thousands of students across the Bayside, Frankston and
Greater Dandenong region experienced a St Kilda visit
throughout the year.
The Saints went to over 50 schools and students were given the
opportunity to play football with an AFL player and participate
in discussions around leadership, goal-setting and healthy
eating. Each visit gave students a well-rounded view of what it’s
like to be an AFL player.
I just wanted to praise the work that the gentlemen
running the footy program have done at our College
this year. Every time I have walked by and observed
clinics they are running, I have seen the students
being thoroughly engaged and immensely enjoying
the program. This is mainly due to the attitude of the
gentlemen and the rapport they have developed with
the students. They are very positive and engaging
leaders and have a lot of fun with the students.”
