The Tassie Hawks In Schools program has seen every primary school across Tasmania receive a free sports pack as part of a joint initiative by Hawthorn Football Club, Tasmanian Government and MBF.

Find out more about Tassie Hawks in Schools.


The Hawks In Schools team made a trip to the East Coast beachside town of St Helens, where 160 Students of St Helens Primary School were eagerly awaiting our visit.

A video of Hawka in the gym was a massive hit with the kids; many prizes were given out during the trivia session.

Five grade 3/4/5 classes stayed with the Hawks In Schools crew to do some fun activities rotating in groups through kicking, handball, tunnel ball and more.

The kids showed excellent football skills and excellent team work during the 30 minute activity session.

Students of St Helens Primary need to be commended on their excellent manner, listening skills and behaviour.

A big thanks to the staff from grades 3-5, it was a pleasure to visit your school.

Next stop: The Hawks In Schools will be visiting Queenstown Primary School.
