Picnic at Elder Park

The Picnic at the very pretty Elder Park by Torrens River on the 3rd April was a success thanks to all! We had heaps of food, games and fun and a pretty good turnout on such a nice sunny day.

(Left: Jacyn & Pris; Right: Aravin, Yanyin)

We played some games including "Bunny and Egg" since it was Easter soon! (its actually a modified version of "Dog and Bone")

Our American friends Anders & Hillary trying to snatch the object in the middle.
I think it was a carrot!

And the other game we played was "Poison Frisbee"..!

It actually seems pretty hard to aim and hit someone with the frisbee. But glad everyone had lots of fun that day.

Once again, THANK YOU all so so much for coming to this event and making it possible. Lots more exciting events to come. Check out our facebook page for more information and updates!

SSA Welcome Lunch at the CC

Hey all! Just wanna say a very very WARM WELCOME! to all our new friends here at Flinders SSA, and also a warm welcome back to all our returning members!

We had our very first event held on the 6th of March at the Village Community Centre - the Welcome Lunch! It was an event to get to know the new people as well as an opportunity for everyone to catch up after the long Summer break. We had a variety of food and games such as the "Guess the number!" game which will be a regular highlight of our future events. Also, included were icebreaker games to allow everyone to interact and get to know each other better, as well as a magic show by our very own magician Hao Zhe.

Just thought you guys would love to see some of the photos taken at this very exciting event!
