Kalability All Stars Sports Program

The Kalability All Stars Sports Program continues to thrive in 2023 as the flagship initiative at Kalamunda Secondary Education Support Centre, providing invaluable opportunities for secondary students with disabilities to engage in sports and foster positive physical, mental, and social development. 

Since its inception in 2009, the program has significantly expanded its reach, hosting a diverse range of interschool sport carnivals that attract participants from across Perth and regional Western Australia. In 2021, we proudly introduced AFL to our roster of events, reflecting our commitment to inclusivity and diversity in sports. 

Our efforts have made Kalamunda Secondary Education Support Centre a recognized leader in all-ability sports education, with over 15 schools and up to 24 teams participating in our carnivals. These events are not only the largest in Western Australia but also draw schools from communities as far as Joondalup, Rockingham, Swan View, Mandurah, and Byford. 

The Kalability All Stars Sports Carnival program now features four annual interschool carnivals, each supported by a network of local stakeholders and community partners. These include the City of Kalamunda, esteemed sporting bodies such as the West Australian Cricket Association, Football West, and Basketball WA, as well as dedicated local representatives including MLA Matthew Hughes and MLA Stephen Price. 

We extend our sincere gratitude to all our supporters, including the Rapid Relief Team (RRT), who generously provide lunch for all carnival participants and staff free of charge. Together, we are empowering young athletes with disabilities, promoting teamwork, resilience, and the joy of sport. 

As we look ahead, the Kalability All Stars Sports Program remains committed to expanding its offerings and enriching the lives of students through inclusive sports experiences. We invite continued collaboration and support as we strive to make sports accessible to all.
