Sport Opportunity Inclusive Events The inclusion of disabled children in school and interschool events is important to the Sport Wellington education team. Inclusion in mainstream sports not only offers disabled children a platform to develop sporting pathways but an opportunity to represent their school alongside their able bodied peers. Attendance at a Sport Wellington Get Set Go workshop will assist school staff and event organisers to gain the necessary knowledge, skills and confidence to successfully run inclusive school and interschool events.
