Sportslink is a program targeted at children with disabilities, or those who are experiencing difficulty with sport, that are aged between 7 and 12 years old. The program was developed by the Recreation and Sport Network and seeks to provide an encouraging environment for children to participate in physical activity, improve their motor skills, acquire confidence and make new friends. The ultimate aim is to enable inclusion into mainstream sports activities.

Presbyterian Ladies College (PLC) in Peppermint Grove will host Sportslink after school each week during school terms.

For more information please contact PLC reception on 9424 6444.
