Olympics Unleashed kicked off in February for another exciting school year!
Some special Olympics Unleashed visits across South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland saw an inspirational start to Term 1 for students.
Olympic Volleyballer Chris McHugh brought Olympics Unleashed to Kangaroo Island last month, where he shared his Olympic story to more than 200 students across three schools. The visit marked the first time Olympics Unleashed has travelled to Kangaroo Island.
