The Gallipoli Youth Cup – School Education Program was a brilliant experience for our students. The students got a wonderful insight into the landing at Gallipoli and were able to reflect on the hardship the soldiers endured and to commemorate those who had fallen.
Students were amazed as they were taken on a ‘behind the scenes’ tour of the Australian Open. The restricted areas usually only available to the Australian Open players were open to us and the students had a taste of what it is like to walk the halls like the professional tennis players do. They were able to play on the courts outside and mimic their tennis heroes as they tried their hand at the sport. All in all, a very worthwhile experience for our students!
