We believe our boccia competition is the biggest boccia competition in the world! With over 500 schools involved, we know of no other educational department doing a competition this big, for students with disability.

Today, here at Marrickville, we have 30 schools involved taking part in our boccia event, competing against one another to find a spot in the state finals.

It's a very inclusive sport. Anyone can play, regardless of their ability.

Darren Lang

It's a game of skill and strategy.

Brenton Sweet

A wonderful game for these students today. They're having a great time. Students lining up at the end and they all have two boccia each and they're trying to get towards the jack, as close as they can.

Boccia is a disability sport, designed specifically for people with cerebral palsy or similar disabilities and it's played from a wheelchair.

We've expanded our competition to include other disabilities and make them sit in chairs to play the game.

Brenton Sweet

My students have had so much positivity coming to this event. They've been so excited.

Michaela Davies

All of the schools here are having a good time just getting to know each other. Coming together, being a part of a community who are interested in the sport.

Peter Cardy

It's an excellent opportunity for these students to represent their school and compete, and we'd love to see future growth and expansion of this across the state.
