Exciting news...

05/06/2026

On Tuesday, we were honoured to host ParaMatildas representatives at our school. Tahlia Blanshard, a defender and disability advocate, shared her journey from her 2022 international debut to winning Australia’s first gold medal in cerebral palsy football. She also volunteers with the Cerebral Palsy Alliance. Joining her were Jessica Pickering, an Australian trampoline gymnast and Youth Olympics silver medalist, and Serena Carter, who promotes female and para football participation at Northern NSW Football. Their stories and leadership reinforced the importance of resilience, inclusion, and the transformative power of sport for all abilities. We thank them for inspiring our community and highlighting these values. Special recognition goes to our student Mia, who trains with the ParaMatildas and will play in the half-time game at the upcoming Matildas vs Mexico match in Newcastle.

Today was ‘bring your hero to school day’ for Mia at Barrington Public School. Tahlia Blanshard is a proud member of the Paramatilda 2024 World Cup winning team. Mia travels to Newcastle to train alongside current Paramatilda athletes at sessions delivered by NNSWF. Tahlia and Serena Carter spent the day at the school delivering football sessions, showing off Tahlia’s medals and inspiring the students.
