When were you involved in APC?
I’ve been involved in the Aboriginal Power Cup for 3 years including 2008, 2010 & 2011.
Why were you involved in the APC?
I participated in the 2008 APC with Ceduna Area School. Ceduna needed numbers so a few
boys and I joined to help out. In 2010 I was a part of the first APC Le Fevre High School team
and this year I have continued in the subject in the hope of achieving a career in sport.
What did you enjoy about the APC?
I enjoyed playing against family and friends from all over South Australia and meeting new
people. I also enjoyed the Presentation Dinner night meeting past and present AFL players.
What is your best memory of the APC?
My best memory of the APC was kicking a goal over my head right in front of the crowd
against Salisbury High. This was a close game and one that I really wanted to win.
What did you gain by being involved in the APC?
I gained and improved on my leadership skills. I was named co-captain, this meant I was
responsible for making sure the boys knew where and when the next game was being
played and organising the boys for workshops.
Describe the travel and accommodation?
All players and staff from Le Fevre stayed at their own homes and travelled to the game
with parents. The country teams drove down from as far as Ceduna and Murray Bridge.
Once they got into Adelaide they stayed at caravan parks.
How did you involve yourself in the workshops?
I visited workshops I was interested in, spoke to the representatives and collected the
information necessary to contact the right people. I also completed surveys and listened to
speakers.
How did doing the tasks help you get ready for the APC?
The tasks have help me develop a better understanding of what the APC is about and what
we needed to do as a team to be successful. For example, task 5 (Diet and Meal) has given
me the knowledge and understanding of dietary requirements to get through an A.F.L game.
