First Nations children connect with country through snowsports
First Nations students from the South East had their first experience of snowsports at the NSW Office of Sport's First Nations Snowsports Program at Jindabyne last week.
The Program, held from 1-6 September involved the students learning to ski or snowboard at Perisher Ski Resort before participating in the inaugural Indigenous Snowsports event at the National Interschools Snowsports Competition on Friday, 6 September.
Participants were based at Jindabyne Sport and Recreation Centre where they participated in cultural activities and employment pathways sessions as well as met with NSW Institute of Sport athletes based at the National Snowsports Training Centre.
