On a very chilly morning recently hundreds of warm hearts gathered at Truscott Street Public School for a very special assembly. On Monday 2 August the Fighting Chance Fund presented Truscott Street Principal Joanne Govorcin and Support Teacher Frances Paterson with a cheque for $95 000 to be used to provide the Support Unit students with a sensory room, sensory garden and play equipment.
It was wonderful to be among the special guests which including the Fighting Chance Fund CEO Dominic Corrigan, Director Sue O’Reilly, Federal Parliamentary Secretary for Disabilities Bill Shorten and Australian Stock Brokers Foundation representative Kylie McDonald as we listened to a Beach Boys number performed with gusto by the Special Unit students and a lovely thank you from Abby Matthews on behalf of the students.
The school community is thrilled that the new facilities are now possible and that the Special Unit students will enjoy a whole range of experiences as a result of the very generous donation.
