Throughout Term 3, our Tapangka students have had the amazing opportunity to participate in weekly work experience with Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) 🐴
Riding for the Disabled is a not-for-profit organisation providing opportunities for people with disability to participate in horse-related activities in a safe and inclusive environment, for recreation, sport and therapeutic purposes.
Every Tuesday morning until lunchtime, our students have been getting hands on experience caring for and working with the horses. Their responsibilities have included grooming, maintaining, and leading the horses, as well as cleaning stables and feeding. 🐎
This experience has been a wonderful opportunity for our students to gain practical, hands-on experience while developing a range of valuable skills. Through their work with the horses, students are building their knowledge of animal care, strengthening their communication and social skills, and learning the importance of teamwork, encouragement and working as part of a community.🤝
It has been wonderful to see our students get involved, challenge themselves and grow through this experience each week. We are incredibly grateful to Riding for the Disabled South Australia for providing such a meaningful and inclusive opportunity for our Tapangka students.
