The Adelaide Football Club along with DECS (Department of Education and Children’s Services) have put the popular “Crows In Schools” program via the Centra Program. It was introduced in 2005 particularly for regional and remote areas.
The Centra Program allows access to remote schools through a web based program, with microphones and web-cameras situated at the Adelaide Football Club and the various schools. We connect with the schools and can interact verbally and through a live web-camera, as well as setting tasks, playing games and running lessons for the children.
Crows players Scott Thompson and Scott Stevens joined Joel Kay in presenting the program. Roger Edmonds and Cate Berden from DECS also are a major influence in the program being so successful.
The 2009 program is based on traffic and road safety featuring videos of Claude the Crow giving the students his top 5 road safety tips. Schools also got an exclusive look into the Coaches room and how they pick their team every week. There was also other fun activities and students were able to ask the Crows' player (and Claude) lots of questions.
As well as taking part in the program, each school received via mail “Crows In Schools” teaching manuals on CD and also other Crows giveaways.
The dates for the sessions are:
Friday 29th May 2009
Friday 5th June 2009
Friday 26th June 2009
There is a chance that we will be doing a “one off” session in September. If your school is interested in being a part of this please contact us and we will give you a call closer to the date. Also if you are interested in the 2009 Centra Program please contact Joel Kay at the Adelaide Football Club 08 8440 6666 or jkay@afc.com.au.
