Throughout his life, Stephen has demonstrated great values and integrity and the perfect role model to have a foundation honouring his name.

Happy Birthday Tony!
We’re celebrating a team member who brings honesty, humour, and a down-to-earth approach to everything he does. Tony’s the kind of person who makes people feel comfortable straight away, and his support for both staff and young people never goes unnoticed.
His extensive background in AFL and coaching adds so much value to our programs, but it’s the way he connects with others with patience, respect, and real care that truly sets him apart.
Thanks for being such a steady and positive presence Tony. Wishing you a great birthday and a year ahead filled with good times and plenty of footy chats.

Future Leaders Explore Inclusion 🤝
Recently, we had the privilege of welcoming our CEO, Paul Mugambwa, to deliver his Inclusion Session to the Year 4 and 5 students participating in our Future Leaders Program.
The students were fully engaged throughout the presentation, exploring the importance of inclusion and how different influences such as media, sports, music, and culture can shape our friendships, decisions, and the way we view others. It was fantastic to see students reflecting on who they are, how they want to come across to others, and how they can support one another.
A big thank you to Fremantle and Southwell Primary Schools for welcoming us over the past two terms. It’s been wonderful working with your students and seeing their growth and enthusiasm each week!
