DSA ON INSTAGRAM

"It was an absolute pleasure to meet with these young, enthusiastic students from @pittwaterhighschool School this morning and chat about Disability Sports Australia! The year 10 House Captains chose DSA for their school fundraiser this year and throughout the week they will raise awareness and funds for DSA through various fundraising activities.

The student’s interest and questions in DSA was truly heart warming and a wonderful opportunity for me to speak about the importance of people with a physical disability having the opportunity to participate in sports. Big thank you to these awesome students and to Pittwater High School for their interest in DSA and all donations raised” ~ Jenni Cole, CEO DSA
