⚽ A fantastic morning with Savoy Soccer Club! ⚽

The children at St Mark’s College OSHC had an incredible soccer clinic with the amazing team from Savoy Soccer Club!

From the first whistle, every child felt welcomed, included and encouraged as they built confidence, developed new skills and had an absolute ball. The morning included a hilarious game of Red Rover with a twist, giant noughts and crosses, soccer drills and mini matches. The green tutus were a huge hit, along with the Savoy tattoos proudly worn on faces, hands, arms and legs!

A huge thank you to Janita for making the clinic possible, Jesse for helping bring everything together, and Kris, Kallan, Jack, Tyler and Anton for generously sharing their time and passion for soccer. Their enthusiasm, patience and encouragement made such a positive impact on the children.

Congratulations to the winner of our colouring competition, who took home an official 2026 FIFA World Cup soccer ball! 🏆

Thank you, Savoy Soccer Club, for a wonderful morning. We truly value this fantastic community partnership and cannot wait to welcome you back! 💚

In the April School Holidays, the children at YMCA Airdale OSHC Port Pirie had an AMAZING day at Goods on Gertrude! 💛✨

Our children had an absolute blast exploring, learning and discovering all the wonderful things Goods on Gertrude does for our local community. From an exciting scavenger hunt to a special behind-the-scenes tour, every moment was filled with fun, curiosity and adventure! 🛍️🔍🌈

Goods on Gertrude is such an important part of the Port Pirie community, providing support, connection and opportunities for so many people. It was incredibly valuable for our children to see firsthand the positive impact kindness, donations and community spirit can have on others ❤️

A HUGE thank you to the incredible Kylie, Amanda and all of the wonderful volunteers who made our visit so memorable. Your kindness, warmth and enthusiasm made the children feel so welcome and excited throughout the entire experience.

Our children were absolutely spoilt with delicious fruit platters, which they thoroughly enjoyed, and one of the biggest highlights of the day was the opportunity for each child to go shopping with the generous $5 provided. Watching the children carefully choose their own special treasures and light up with excitement was absolutely priceless! 🍉🍓✨💵🧸

Thank you again for such a meaningful, engaging and community-focused experience. We are so grateful for the love, generosity and support you continue to show our children and families at YMCA Airdale OSHC Port Pirie 💕

What an absolutely incredible day for our YMCA Airdale OSHC children! 🏉💙

We would love to give a massive THANK YOU to Solomontown Football Club for running such an outstanding Football Clinic for our children 🙌

A special shoutout to Matt, Joel, Corey, Tyson, Marco and Lawson – your organisation, energy and passion did not go unnoticed! The way the clinic was planned and delivered was truly remarkable, and it created such an engaging and positive experience for every child involved.

From the very beginning, the excitement was through the roof! The children were fully engaged as they rotated through different skill stations, learning how to tackle safely using the tackle bags, how to mark the ball with confidence, and developing their kicking and handball skills 🏉✨

What really stood out was how inclusive and supportive you all were. Every child, no matter their skill level, was encouraged, guided and made to feel part of the experience. That sense of belonging and confidence building is something we value so highly, and you absolutely delivered that on the day 💫

The smiles, laughter and determination we saw across the group said it all – and the kids have not stopped talking about it since!
Opportunities like this are so important in helping children try new things, build skills, and connect with their local community. We are so grateful for the time and effort you all put in to make this such a memorable experience.

Thank you again for giving our children such a fun, active and inspiring day – we can’t wait to do it all again! 🙌🔥
