The Sydney Uni Wheelchair Flames

In 2010 Sydney Uni Sport & Fitness incorporated the WNWBL Hills Hornets Wheelchair Basketball team into their structure. It was a project that thrilled Paralympian and team captain Sarah Stewart 'People in wheelchairs, and particularly women in wheelchairs, are not encouraged to think about academics. They're not encouraged to think that they might be slightly intellegent. Often, people in wheelchairs are stereotyped as being mentally disabled. So I like the idea that a few of the girls on the Wheelchair Flames team are studying, because we are portraying the fact that people in wheelchairs can study. And that's a really positive message to get out there.'
