Celebrating achievement! 🏆
Our amazing students from Sutherland House School were invited to participate in an inclusive athletics event as part of our Active Living curriculum.
Students enjoyed a variety of events:
🏃🏻♀️➡️ Shuttle run
⭕ Hoop challenge
🏃 Team relays
Students represented the school in a very positive manner, displayed great teamwork, improved individual scores and more importantly enjoyed themselves.
This was the first time these students had taken part in an indoor athletics event, and we think they smashed it! 🌟
