ANZAC DAY OBSERVANCE 2024

Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club Inc will be closed all day on Thursday 25th April 2024 for the observance of ANZAC Day. The Club encourages members and supporters to attend the Dawn Service at 5:45am at the Cenotaph in front of the Boronia RSL at 198 Dorset Rd. Club apparel may be worn.

On Saturday 27th April the club will commemorate Anzac Day at Tormore Reserve for both men’s home games. Clubs will line up for a short ceremony as The Last Post and The Ode are played prior to the start of each game. ANZAC Day Medals will be presented to a player from each of our four senior Boronia teams, men and women, who are chosen by the coaching panels as best representing the spirit of the ANZACS on the day. Lest we forget.


KNOX COMMUNITY XMAS SUPPORT

The Boronia Hawks community can feel very proud of our annual Xmas contributions to KNOX INFOLINK. We thank them now for their kind recognition of our efforts to support them in 2023.

Pease take a moment to read the letter of thanks to our Senior Secretary, Grant Bertram, and Auskick Co-ordinator, Samantha Dunkinson, who were closely involved in our Xmas drive for donated foodstuffs and gifts for the local community.

NAIDOC WEEK | 2-9 JULY

This weekend we will celebrate NAIDOC week across all of our senior and junior games. This is a chance for us to recognise the culture and history of the beautiful land that we play our great sport on and to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples – in particular those of the Wurundjeri and Bunurong people of the Kulin nation, who are the traditional owners of the land where Tormore resides.

NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia in the first week of July each year and is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth.

A very big thank you to Indigenous club member Chloe for her Acknowledgement of Country before each of the games; and to Samantha Dunkinson for arranging and leading each ceremony.
