Girls from three Mill Park primary schools had the chance to show off their AFL skills last week.
The students from St Francis of Assisi, Plenty Parklands and Mill Park Heights primary schools took part in an all-girls AFL gala day on July 19, organised by the Bundoora District School Sports Association.
The event included matches, skill-building activities and a closing ceremony to promote inclusivity and encourage girls to participate in sports, particularly in AFL.
St Francis of Assisi head of physical education and sport and event convenor Adrian Talarico thought the gala was a fantastic opportunity for young girls to experience the joy of AFL in a supportive and empowering environment.
