During their visit to Shepparton, Essendon Football Club AFL players Kyle Langford and Kaine Baldwin, along with Victorian Wheelchair Football League players Caleb Logan and Adam Goregelin, stopped by Verney Road School.

It marked a significant day for the students as they relished the opportunity to meet the sporting talents, engage in a Q&A and run through some drills.
