Year 12 VM Literacy students, with the second year VET Certificate in Sport and Recreation class, travelled to Try Boys stadium this week to immerse themselves in wheelchair basketball. To support learning of the Unit 4 topic – Advocacy, students all had the chance to learn about the game, the chairs and background of the sport, as well as be expertly shown how to operate these specialised chairs and play a few games of wheelchair basketball. A huge thank you to Will, Kaye and Kerryn from Parallel Sports for sharing their skills and knowledge.
