Rick and Catherine from Wheelchair Sports NSW came to our school and spent the day with us.
It was a unique program that consisted of a whole-school presentation on Road Safety and the consequences of taking risks, disability sport & living with a disability.
The talk was more powerful by the fact that Rick and Catherine explained first-hand what life is like living in a wheelchair.
After this most of the students got to experience a game of wheelchair basketball which gave our students a taste of wheelchair sport plus an idea of what it is like to be in a wheelchair, if only for a short time!
Our Ebenezer students excelled themselves in showing respect to our 2 visitors and learning a lot about life with a disability. Both Rick and Catherine left loving our gorgeous little school, despite having to drive back to Kogarah in the afternoon.
