Although table tennis was played at S.A.S. as early as the 1970’s, this activity reached the height of popularity in the mid 1990’s. Players were outfitted with uniforms and were very competitive. A committed group continues to play informally each Friday night. Slovensko društvo Sydney - 50 let Table tennis 32
33 Slovenian Association Sydney - 50 Years Schools From the early 1960’s, a partnership existed between the Slovene Association Sydney and the Slovene Catholic Church, in the teaching of the Slovenian community language classes. They were mutually supportive of one another. The humble beginnings of the Slovenian language classes were informal programs of learning and catered mainly to young children who were the offspring of the first wave of immigrants from Slovenia. The first lessons were held at 121 Queen St. Woolahra and were run under the wings of Karitas (an humanitarian organization of the Catholic church, catering for the needs of the newly arrived migrants). The lessons were taken by Father Bernard Ambrožič who was later assisted by Virgilij Ferfolja. Leichhardt – 1958 Another Slovenian language class, established in the Sydney basin, was at Leichhardt. These classes again catered to the very young children. Initially, Father Bernard Ambrožič was assisted by Virgilij Ferfolja and Antonia (Tončka) Vodopivec, who motivated the children with her playing of the piano, drama performances and singing. These classes ceased by the end of the 1950’s. Under the support of the newly arrived Father Odilo Hajnšek however, classes recommenced at Leichhardt in 1962. These continued until the mid 1960’s with the work of these fine teachers – Anton Omerzel, Virgilij Ferfolja, Marija Kokl and M.Vojsk (relieving).
