INTERNATIONAL DAY OF DISABILITY

Celebrating Diversity and People With Disability

Kew High Shool celebrated the International Day of People with Disability on Monday 3rd December.  This is a United Nations sanctioned day held each year on this day. The aim is to increase public awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability. This also provides the opportunity to celebrate everyone's diverse abilities.

The SRC and the STEM group joined with the Disabilities Team to plan and run many activities during lunch time. Orange and blue balloons festooned the quadrangle. We had our fantastic band and singers belting out tunes. There was lots of fun with the assisted blind-folded obstacle course, sit-down volleyball, Aspie video games in the library, meditation games and more.

All the students had a wonderful time and both staff and students joined in the fun, games and cleaning up afterwards. The hard-working Disabilities Team are to be congratulated for their hard work. It was a great day to celebrate and appreciate everyone's differences and unique capacity.
