Wheelchair Roadshow
On Wednesday 6th - Friday 8th September, we hosted the bi-annual Wheelchair Roadshow.
The presentations to the Stage 2, Stage 3 and Secondary PE classes were focussed on Roadsafety and Disability Awareness, and students participated in Wheelchair Basketball. The final message to the students was:
“...that the Wheelchair Roadshow experience could be the best fun you ever have in a wheelchair. Be grateful to be able to leave the chair behind and walk away from it. Do what you can to look after yourself and your safety and the safety of those around you.”
The presentation for the 9/10 elective PASS (Physical Activity and Sports Studies) classes were based on the syllabus module Sport for Specific Groups. We discussed the many current and emerging sports available for people with disabilities, the equipment and technology used, modifications to games to cater for athletes with disabilities, the classification systems used to assist with equity and inclusion of as many athletes as possible, and the increasing profile of disability sports and athletes through the greater media coverage at the Commonwealth and Paralympic Games. PASS students participated in Wheelchair AFL, then played Wheelchair Basketball and AFL as part of their PASS Olympics Challenge.
Thanks to Brendon Talbott from Wheelchair Sports NSW for making the trip from Sydney, sharing his stories and experience, and presenting to our classes. The students thoroughly enjoyed their time and hopefully gained a little insight and empathy for the challenges of using a wheelchair.
Good Luck
Good luck to Ned Murray, Georgia Harris, Caitlyn Cram, George Smith and Josh Harris who will compete at the NSWCCC Athletics in Homebush next Monday 12th Sept.
