Website Launch

Greg Simmons - Chairman

Its with much anticipation that the Special Olympics Sydney Upper North Shore Region launches its new website. We are very excited about the possibilities it brings.

The key goals in launching our new website are to:

• Be Inspired – To Help Our Athletes to Reach Their Potential
• Provide an readily accessible source of information to our Athlete’s, Parents/Carers, Coaches and Volunteers
• Build our community - it touches so many individuals and organisations so lets harness that energy to do great things
• To recognise and say thank you to our sponsors without whom this would not be possible – this is an avenue to express our heart felt THANKS!

SO… how do we see our new website achieving these goals?:

• Source of information:
  • Our Sports Program - our sports programs are growing incredibly with new locations and new sports – check out:
    • The brilliant colour coded SOSUNS Calendar
    • The Sports Menus for details of individual sports and training details
  • Our Schools Program – a fabulous program where we work closely in conjunction with local schools to provide over 350 school age athletes with opportunities to be active and participate in sport, building awareness of what Special Olympics provides – checkout the SOSUNS Schools Program in the About Us Menu
  • Our Events – as a region we runs seriously awesome events – please take time to check the dates and book your place and encourage friends, family and potential sponsors to get involved – checkout the SOSUNS Events Menu
  • Social events, Come ‘N Try Days, Carnivals etc. – we aim to keep you regularly updated on what’s planned – checkout the SOSUNS Events Menu, SOSUNS Featured News and Latest News & Blog.

• Build Our Community
  • Our website is what’s called a “blog” based site which means that anyone in our community can make “posts” to the site to share information, stories, ideas and suggestions – see the Latest News & Blog section
  • We encourage athlete’s, parents/carers, coaches, volunteers, sponsors, service providers, schools, venue’s, councils, politicians – anyone touched by what we do to “get involved” and share their stories – see the Volunteers section on how YOU can become involved

• Recognise our Sponsors
  • Please take time to checkout our fantastic sponsors and in understanding who they are and what they do lets get behind them wherever possible – checkout the Sponsors Menu!

Finally we would love your feedback on how we are doing, what we can do better and what more you would like to see – checkout the About Us Menu SOSUNS Committee - think what YOU could contribute and contact any of us.
