A Day Of Learning And Fun At Mackay West’s Disability Action Day

Mackay West State School hosted a successful Disability Action Day, engaging students in a range of awareness activities. Students participated in Auslan lessons, sensory exercises, and used aided language boards to better understand the challenges faced by those with physical disabilities. A highlight of the day was said to be the scooterboard basketball event during first break, with Rob Kidd from 4MK joining the fun.

The school also welcomed special guests, including Mayor Greg Williamson, Alex Dalbo, and Cath Lalor, School Supervisor for Mackay. A heartfelt thank you was extended to Anna Duncan, Kylie Moore, Vicki Hatfield, and the Auslan teachers who led the lessons, as well as to Mrs. Dolzan and the Diverse Learning team for their tireless efforts in organising the event. Their dedication and teamwork made the Disability Action Day a memorable and impactful experience for everyone involved.
