WHAT IS IT?
A twenty minute presentation at your school, on road safety, disability awareness or physical activity and sport, by one of our presenters who lives with a disability, followed by a 40 minute game of Wheelchair Basketball or Wheelchair AFL, played by the students. This provides the students a chance to experience something new, as well as giving them an idea of what it is like to be in a wheelchair.

All feedback from students has been positive and the final group of the day wish they had more time or could do it again." - Muswellbrook High School, Muswellbrook
