To celebrate the 2023 International Day of People with Disability, Interaction invited support classes from 14 local schools to participate in a Lego building competition.
We are thrilled to share that Lidcombe Public School has been selected as the winner of Interaction's inaugural School Lego Competition! Coming in a close second was St. Gabriel's School Castle Hill.
We are so grateful for the community support for donated prizes. Thank you to Grove Square - The Hills for first prize - a fantastic art pack that will be put to use by Lidcombe Public School. All runners-up received a voucher donated by Toymate Superstores Castle Hill.
