STUDENTS at Hamlyn Views School will be riding in style from now on, following the school’s reception of a new Sunshine Coach from Australian children’s charity Variety.<\/p>\n

The special development school in Hamlyn Heights has been on Variety’s waitlist for a coach since 2017 – a year before the school opened – and gratefully accepted the vehicle from Variety executive partner Kellee Ireland and other Variety representatives during a visit on Thursday last week.<\/p>\n

“This Sunshine Coach has been specially modified to accommodate two wheelchairs, ensuring that every student can benefit from its services,” Ms Ireland said.<\/p>\n

“At Variety, we understand how important it is for children to get out and connect with their community, whether for swimming lessons, borrowing a book at the library or learning life skills such as going to a bank and opening an account.<\/p>\n

“This coach enables everyone at Hamlyn Views School including those in wheelchairs to be afforded these opportunities.”<\/p>\n

She said Variety and Hamlyn Views had worked together to jointly fully fund the full coast of the $83,000 coach.<\/p>\n

“The fundraising efforts from our motoring events, community and corporate events are key to making this and other grants possible.<\/p>\n

“Our heartfelt thanks is extended to those supporters and the work they do to fundraise.”<\/p>\n

She said Variety donated about three of the Sunshine Coaches each year.<\/p>\n

Operating in 40 countries around the world, Variety provides life-changing equipment and programs to children experiencing disadvantage, disability and illness.<\/p>\n

As a registered charity, it receives no government funding, so is entirely reliant on donations and corporate funding to support its work.<\/p>\n

Hamlyn Views School provides specialist education for children and young people with a moderate to profound intellectual disability and accepts enrolments from eligible students from Foundation to Year 12.<\/p>\n

The school has been built to accommodate up to 168 students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
