History
The Greek Community at Port Adelaide and environs was formally established in 1959 with the first Saturday morning Greek school operational in 1960. It attracted a handful of young Greek Australians who were provided with the opportunity to learn, study and expand their knowledge of the Greek language and associated customs their ‘migrant parents’ deemed important to ‘pass on’ in their new country. The Port Adelaide Greek school has flourished over time and with significant ‘family volunteer support‘ classes starting from Reception to Year 12 through our current SACE system have been maintained.
By 1962 the first “Philoptochos Auxilary Ladies” was formed with a sole purpose of assisting individuals in the community who endured difficult times. Over the years significant financial and emotional support have been provided to both Greek and non-Greek members of our community as well as to numerous community based charities.
