Physical Education Week Dinner & Awards Night

*ALREADY HELD** Friday 14th November 2025 at Adelaide Pavilion

 

ACHPER SA proudly hosted our gala Dinner & Awards Night on November 14, our night of nights to celebrate our members, educators, partners, volunteers, and supporters. It was an evening dedicated to recognising excellence, dedication, and the spirit of ACHPER within our community.

We welcomed guests to a night of networking, food, drinks, and great company as we celebrated Physical Education Week 2025. Attendees enjoyed a three-course meal and drinks package while connecting with colleagues and friends. We were also honoured to hear from our inspiring guest speaker, Laura Hodges, who shared valuable insights into her sporting journey. What an inspiring night! Thank you for all you do to support active, healthy living in South Australia.

Stay tuned for the 2026 date!
