Joondalup Wolves CEO Andrew Summerville shared his thoughts on Mater Dei College signing on as a Community Partner.

“We are really pleased to partner with Mater Dei College and we welcome them to the Wolfpack family.  Our partnership will see us assist them in the rollout and delivery of their new specialist basketball program. We both share a common interest in providing youth with sporting opportunities in the community and a pathway for them to achieve success. I have met with senior staff at the college and toured their facilities and belief our partnership will be mutually beneficial and will only grow as the program, and our association continues to grow. As a Community partner of the Wolves NBL1 West teams, we hope our interaction with the school and its students will inspire them to achieve their goals."
