Ben Stratton and Hawks’ Community staff will this week head to Katherine, NT as part of the AFL Club Partnerships Program, which sees the Club visit the region three times a year until the end of 2012.

From Friday 10 June to Sunday 12 June, the Hawks will visit the Barunga Festival with the Indigenous Hip Hop Projects in tow, who will also cover the Jilkminggan, Beswick, and Mataranka communities over the week.

The Hawks will also be heading to Clontarf Academy, Katherine High School Sports Academy and the Barunga Festival.

The Hawks Digital team will keep you up-to-date with photos and recaps from the trip.
