One of our proud community initiatives is our ongoing support of Clontarf Academy and their mission to uplift and inspire young Aboriginal men, providing mentorship, athletic opportunities, and a foundation for future success.
The Wadjemup Cup embodies this spirit, combining sport with cultural appreciation in a truly inspiring setting. Joining forces with the Rottnest Island Authority and Clontarf Football Academy, Programmed once again recently supported the spirited, round-robin Australian Rules football event held at Wadjemup (Rottnest Island).
The annual event brings together year 8 and 9 students from across Western Australia, including communities as far north as Carnarvon and far southeast as Esperance, for a day of sport, camaraderie and cultural connection.
Over 100 students travelled to Wadjemup for the competition, beginning their journey with a Programmed-sponsored barbeque dinner. This gathering offered students a chance to connect, share their stories, and thank the team for their support. The next day, the football games kicked off, with students competing passionately for the ultimate prize – the Wadjemup Cup.
We're incredibly proud to support such a fantastic event and Clontarf's mission to inspire and uplift young Aboriginal men!
