Encouraging children to participate in sport and fitness activities and promote a team spirit within the school was the clinic's main aim.

The school became involved through the Literacy Buddy schools program run by the Daystar Foundation and Ardoch Youth Foundation.

These two charities are part of the Connect program, run by team sponsor PKF Australia.

The company is party of an international accountancy and business advice group.

Daystar Foundation founder Kingi Williams was pleased Tasmania's top cricketers took time to share some of their knowledge with the local pupils.

``Ambarvale is a well known sporting school and it was just the fact that the kids have been writing to PKF, the sponsors of the Tasmanian Tigers, that helped bring the team,'' Williams said.

``We have big corporations sponsoring our programs and the kids are able to enjoy the benefits of these corporate relations.

``It's a huge boost for those kids at the school who are interested in cricket and even those on the periphery, to have household names visit them and show them some skills.

``It created a lot of excitement.''

PKF chief executive David Ratcliffe was delighted that the team proved to be positive role models during their visit to Ambarvale.

``We are a great believer in supporting local communities through the various initiatives and programs we are involved in,'' he said.
