Recently, Cartwright Public School put together its first ever boccia team to participate in the NSW Inclusive Schools Boccia Tournament. The competition saw over 511 teams participate across 470 schools, with an estimated 3,400 competitors, which is just extraordinary. Boccia is an official Paralympic sport, combining elements of bocce, bowls and petanque. What sets boccia apart is its inclusivity, offering opportunities for individuals of all abilities to engage in the competition and sportsmanship. Boccia training at Cartwright has seen students take to the sport with enthusiasm and forge strong connections between teammates. I am informed that, despite being newcomers to the sport, they demonstrated remarkable skill and teamwork, and earnt the admiration of their fellow competitors and spectators. Cartwright Public School consistently emphasises the importance of providing opportunities for their students to thrive. I congratulate the members of the boccia team on their dedication to this new sport. I look forward to seeing them refine their skills over the years to come.
