Tuesday 31st of August saw schools from within the West Perth District invited to play at the Falcons home, Arena Joondalup in the district's first ever Dockers Cup. Dockers Cup is a new girls only primary school based competition, run at this stage in a lightning carnival format.

WESTERN Australia’s top AFL School Ambassadors were rewarded at a special dinner function at Subiaco Oval during August, with the best footy-promoting teachers receiving trips to the AFL Finals.

Fremantle Football Club’s Anthony Morabito and West Coast’s Brad Sheppard were on hand to present the awards at the Celebration of AFL Education Programs in WA Dinner last Wednesday, August 11.

Major awards, including trips to the AFL Grand Final, were presented to the AFLSA who has demonstrated the most outstanding service for 5 years or more (supported by Scout Entertainment), as well as the most outstanding Ambassador for 2010 (supported by BHP Billiton – Principal community partner of the West Coast Eagles).

As well as the fantastic major awards, two other terrific footy ambassadors received AFL Finals trips to the MCG for being the most outstanding Primary and High School Footy teachers.

Wanneroo Senior High School Teacher Justin Burt took home the High School Footy Teacher Award for the second year running. Justin is a passionate supporter of football within his school and the West Perth District. Wanneroo Senior High School excels in its football development programs and is the only AFL Specialist School in the local area. Justin also sits on the West Perth District Football Development Council helping grow football across the district. In 2010 Justin and Wanneroo SHS have conducted male and female football specialist classes, have fielded teams in multiple football competitions, incorporate football into all learning areas and have taken students over to Melbourne on a football learning experience.

Woodvale SHS Year 8/9 'Smarter than Smoking' Cup team who defeated Merredin SHS in their zone final in late July progressed all the way through to the Quarter Finals of the 'Smarter than Smoking' Cup.

After a road trip to Northam for the zone final, the boys had to set out on the road again, this time to face Comet Bay, the winner of the Peel District's zone final. The Elimination Final was played at Curtin University in trying conditions of horizontal rain and strong winds. After battling it out with the Comet Bay boys for four quarters of football, the Woodvale team came out on top with the win and went through to face the winner of Subiaco District zone final, Warwick SHS.

Last Thursday the 29th July saw the West Perth District Country Champions come head to head with the Metropolitan Champions at Jubilee Oval in Northam.

Within minutes of the Winter Football Carnival commencing, Eddystone Primary School received an unexpected surprise from the West Perth Football Club with the supply of a new set of jumpers for the school footy teams.

The West Perth Football Club partnering with Kambos Electricals generously donated the jumpers to replace the previous set. With students playing in the same jumpers for in excess of 15 years the long awaited football jumpers featuring the famous falcon and the glorious colours of red and blue arrived just in time for the first bounce down.
