Established in 1937, the ACC is an independent secondary schools sports association based in Perth, Western Australia. The ACC has a membership of over 82 schools catering to more than 50,000 students. Member schools compete during the year in participation carnivals, weekly summer and winter interschool sports, major carnivals in swimming, athletics and cross country and through selection in elite representative teams.
An independent school is independent in its finances and governance. It is usually not dependent upon national or local government to finance its operations, nor reliant on taxpayer contributions, and is instead funded by a combination of tuition charges, donations, and in some cases the investment yield of a financial endowment. It is typically governed by a board of governors which is elected independently of government, and has a system of governance that ensures its independent operation.
A sports club or sporting club, sometimes athletics club or sports society or sports association, is a group of people formed for the purpose of playing sports.
In Australian culture sports carnivals are held to perform competitions in the individual or team disciplines like athletics, swimming or Surf Life Saving. Teams from different clubs or schools gather together for both individual point-score and team score. Often, the carnival is opened by a parade with the teams marching in uniforms and flags over the field of competition.
There are currently five sub-associations within the ACC; NAS, CAS, NWAS, SAS, SASJ. Sub-associations conduct their own regular weekly sporting competitions.
The motto of the association is "Sport in the Right Spirit".
A motto is a maxim; a phrase meant to formally summarize the general motivation or intention of an individual, family, social group or organization. Mottos are usually found predominantly in written form, and may stem from long traditions of social foundations, or from significant events, such as a civil war or a revolution. A motto may be in any language, but Latin has been widely used, especially in the Western world.
