The St Kilda Football Club will continue to work in partnership with Council, to provide sporting opportunities across Greater Dandenong.

Since 2022 the AFL club has been working with us to deliver school engagement programs, modified Auskick programs and development opportunities for local clubs.

St Kilda Football Club Education Lead Hannah Priest said the partnership supported “our shared goals to increase the health and wellbeing of the community”.

“This partnership is something that we as a club are really proud of and we look forward to deepening our ties to the Greater Dandenong community in the years to come.”

Greater Dandenong Mayor, Councillor Jim Memeti, said he was proud the club had decided to continue working in our community.

“The health and social benefits of participation in sport make a real difference, especially in the lives of young people. Partnerships like this open up more opportunities for leadership and community connections and we look forward to strengthening this relationship even further,” Cr Memeti said.
