WAIRARAPA COLLEGE HAS CAKE FOR WDSD
8
NZDSA Regional representative Bridie Allen was invited to Wairarapa College by parent Heather Walsh to visit the Supported Learning Centre (SLC). Heather has created a tradition of bringing in a cake to share and celebrate World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD) every March. Her son Alex is an enthusiastic and musically talented student with Down syndrome at Wairarapa College. The class sang Happy Birthday to acknowledge the 40th anniversary of the NZDSA, shared the cake and recognised the fact they were fortunate to connect face-to-face this year for WDSD. The group was joined by Matt White (Principal of Wairarapa College), Amanda Kawana (Head of Department for SLC), Wills Harbord (Head Boy), Sophie Cusack (Deputy Head Girl) with all the staff and students of the SLC. It was a really positive event, with lots of smiling faces.
