Celebrating Talent at the Santos Aboriginal Power Cup

This collaboration has empowered 35 talented students from the Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY Lands) visit Adelaide and join 550 other students for the Santos Aboriginal Power Cup carnival. In its 16-year history, the Santos Aboriginal Power Cup program has consistently worked towards reengaging First Nations students with their education. With the support of Enerven, the program achieved a milestone by providing the critical funding necessary for students from the APY Lands to travel to Adelaide and participate in the carnival.

The carnival was held in May at Karen Rolton Oval and featured a competitive football tournament with some incredible skills on display.

Enerven also had the opportunity to showcase the exciting career pathways available with the team during the careers fair that ran alongside the carnival. Enerven recognizes the importance of nurturing talent and encouraging our next generation to explore STEM careers. The team had the privilege of chatting with students and sharing insights about the different career options available within the sector.

Reflecting on the partnership the Executive General Manager of Enerven, Richard Amato said,

“It’s a privilege to offer these brilliant individuals the opportunity to experience something special while giving them a glimpse into what they could do after they finish school”.

All 550 participating students had the privilege of visiting Adelaide Oval where they captivated the crowd with a cultural dance, marking the opening of Yartapuulti Football Club’s Sir Doug Nicholls Round clash with Naarm. The power and spirit displayed by the students was a testament to the talent within their communities.

Enerven would like to congratulate all the students involved, the commitment and hard work demonstrated to earn a place to participate is an exceptional feat.
