Primary Purpose We exist for our members. To instil pride and achieve success by playing winning football and making a positive contribution to our community. Since 1873, successive generations of loyal, passionate and committed Saints have given to the club and made it their own. The St Kilda Football Club exists because of that passion and our purpose is to return that commitment to the absolute best of our ability through our actions, both on and off the field.
VISION We aspire to be an elite professional sporting organisation that at its core has a commitment to its members, exceptional football and commercial performance and makes a valued contribution to the community. Values and high standards will be the cornerstone of our vision. Our club will not only recognise its obligations to the broader community but will be admired for the contribution it makes. St Kilda Football Club will be regarded as a place where people want to work, an environment where people are energised and thrive. Leadership will be encouraged and practiced at all levels. This will be delivered through a culture that gives priority to personal development, empowers its people and celebrates their achievements.
