ALL ABILITY ZONE – THE SHARK TANK PITCH || Tensions were high this afternoon when a group of Year 10 students pitched their idea to revolutionise the fitness industry. The students unveiled their plan for introducing disability-inclusive gym equipment in existing gyms in what they’re calling the ‘All Ability Zone’. Through extensive research, the students had been unable to find a gym in the area that provided equipment catering for those with accessibility issues and came up with their solution for this glaring gap.

The students were lucky enough to present to two representatives from Good Life Health Clubs along with the Beaumaris Secondary College Principal Team. The ‘Sharks’ were captivated by the students’ ability to reflect on the impact on the broader community and how they could target a relatively untouched market. They were also gobsmacked as to how this excellent idea is not already out there and were supportive of trying to make this idea become reality. Well done Angus B, Angus C, Harrison R, Jacob A, Jye H, Nate D, Oskar V and Zac M!
