The Smith Family’s Graduation was a special night to celebrate the hard work and future endeavours of our graduating high school and tertiary Learning for Life students.

All students were awarded a certificate of their time sponsored by The Smith Family on the Learning for Life program. Guests were able to meet and hear firsthand from our students how The Smith Family has helped them succeed at their studies and create better futures for themselves. Port Adelaide Football Club legends and Margarey Medal recipients, Russell and Brett Ebert spoke about life before and after their AFL careers.
