STEMfooty
TEACHING SCIENCE & MATHEMATICS USING CHILDREN'S LOVE OF SPORT TO DELIVER CONCEPTS
The STEMfooty program is delivered to over 3000 year 7 students each year.
The students involved attend Category 1-3 schools, which are those who are the most in need.
The program is also delivered regionally and also targets Indigenous students. It delivers 50% of the child’s year 7 maths and science curriculum in a fun and engaging way using sport as the vehicle for learning.
They learn angles by looking at where goals are kicked from. They learn statistics and budgeting with Supercoach teams and occupations.
It’s a huge program designed by the Foundation and delivered at no cost to the schools.
KUWA CIRCLES
AMPLIFYING THE PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AND CAREER PASSION IN FIRST NATION WOMEN
The Kuwa (Kaurna word for Crow) Circles Program provides under-represented First Nation women with a culturally safe education and training environment designed to amplify their personal development and help them realise their career passion.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment and education in Australia face significant disparities, which perpetuates cycles of disadvantage and limits potential. Addressing these issues requires a multifaceted approach that involves creating culturally appropriate opportunities and addressing systemic inequalities.
Students participate in a sports and cultural curriculum aimed at transforming the participant’s love for AFL into an understanding of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) principles. The program consists of four intensive weeks of classroom and practical workshops in alignment with the Australian curriculum. During this time participants are connected with leading employment experts to help realise their career vision following the completion of year 12 studies.
CROWS ON COUNTRY
EMPOWERING ABORIGINAL & TORRES STRAIT ISLANDERS
Crows On Country provides a tailored, culturally inclusive education program that aims to translate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students’ love and passion for AFL to increased school attendance and literacy in science and mathematics.
In Australia, aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders face significant barriers to accessing quality education. The barriers include a lack of cultural inclusivity, limited access to resources and systematic inequalities that impact educational outcomes.
Crows on Country adapts the STEMfooty program to create a culturally safe program in partnership with remote schools and teachers. The program uses a modified bilingual approach with tailored teaching methods to unlock the potential of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
INCLUSIVE ACADEMY
PROVIDING FOOTBALL CLINICS TO CHILDREN WITH AN INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY
The goal of the academy is to host 100 children in several clinics throughout the year. The children involved have conditions such as Downs Syndrome, Autism, Aspergers, brain injury and developmental delays.
All academy students are unable to participate in the local Auskick or join a team due to the intense management they need.
The Inclusive Academy Clinics are led by AFL and AFLW players and coaches, and each child recieves near 1:1 attention.
The child’s clinicians are also involved in the program, meaning speech therapists, physios and occupational therapists also attend to support their clients.
Parents get to watch and meet other parents from a viewing mezzanine level.
After each session the children also get to take home a tasty & healthy dinner.
The transformation in the kids from being nervous and shy in week one to running in the doors by week four is one of the most exciting parts of the Academy for all involved.
CROWS CARE
The Crows Care program is about providing quality experiences to children and families in need.
Throughout each year, the Adelaide Crows Foundation receives many requests for support from the community. Every request to support a child or children is considered. The club will do their best to help where possible.
Currently, the ways in which the club offers support includes match day experiences, complimentary tickets to games, player experiences and singed memorabilia for fundraising.
OPEN PARACHUTE
The Open Parachute Program is a cutting-edge well-being program aimed at upskilling students, parents and teachers through peer role-modelling, which is clinically proven to help students develop resilience
Child and youth mental health is a growing concern with long-term consequences. Limited resources, stigma, and inadequate support systems compound the problem. Addressing this requires creating supportive environments, reducing stigma, improving access to resources, and enhancing mental health literacy.
