With over 20 students from Merri River School participation in the program, they got a chance to build new skills, try a new sport, and get out on the green.
Working with Warrnambool Tri Club South West Sport supported them to develop an inclusive participation opportunity for people with a disability. Supporting them to engage key stakeholders from the disability sector, access equipment, promote their program, and register participants.
