When Sarah joined Mt Druitt’s Vocational Services program in 2022, her enthusiasm and passion were instantly contagious.
From the beginning, Sarah stood out for her ambition, energy, and determination. Recognising her commitment to growth, Sunnyfield supported her request for an extra year in SLES to continue building skills and exploring new opportunities.
Never one to shy away from learning, Sarah applied for the Down Syndrome Association’s Digital Champions Program, which empowers young people with disability to use the internet safely. Backed by Sunnyfield’s Vocational Services team, she walked into her interview with confidence — and excelled.
Six months on, Sarah is thriving. She is helping others stay safe online, speaking at events, and continuing her outstanding involvement with Special Olympics, where she was recently named Athlete Leader.
Sarah’s journey is a powerful reminder of resilience, courage, and the opportunities that open when determination meets support.
