Less than a week after the Gold Coast SUNS and Queensland Government announced the funding partnership of the SHINE Schools program, the GC SUNS today hit the schools.

GC SUNS players visited over 400 students across a number of schools on the Gold Coast.

SUNS TV joined Tom Hickey, Steven May, Dan Gorringe and Jacob Gillbee at Ashmore State School.

Students learnt from the players how to be Healthy and Active as well as taking part in a skills clinic.

Next week the students will participate in beach safety activities before learning the finer skills of AFL in week three of the program.

The final week, of the program will see all schools come to Metricon Stadium to participate in a carnival day.
