2009 Aboriginal Power Cup
June 2009
The Aboriginal Power Cup (APC) has kicked-off for 2009, with 10 schools from across South Australia competing to become Power Cup Champion.
The APC is a partnership between the Attorney-General’s Department, South Australian Aboriginal Sports Training Academy and the Port Adelaide Football Club with support from the South Australian National Football League.
The APC was developed in response to Monsignor David Cappo’s To Break the Cycle report and is based on a successful U.K. model. It aims inspire young Aboriginal people to make positive and healthy choices in life, complete their SACE and engage in career pathways.
With a 2-day football carnival as its centrepiece, participating boys and girls will engage in a leadership program prior to the carnival. Students must also have a good school attendance rate in order to participate in the program. The Grand Final of the Aboriginal Power Cup will be played as the curtain-raiser to the Port Adelaide v North Melbourne match on Saturday August 29. Tickets to the Grand Final can be purchased through Ticketmaster.
