AFL Day

On Saturday 27th July, as part of the tradition of Northcote High School each year, International Student AFL day was held again in Birraung Marr Park and MCG.

On the day, our International students enjoyed an interesting footy training session taught by our lovely Year 10 student captains and teachers - Luke, Pierrick, Megan and Martin before game on in Birraung Marr Park.

Later International students went to the MCG to watch the AFL game, joining the fans in MCG to support their teams:  Carlton Vs Adelaide. They said it was a definitely great way to experience Australian lifestyle and it was great fun.

All the international students want to express their thanks and appreciation to the teachers and school captains who participated.
