A 15-YEAR-OLD Brighton Secondary College student with Asperger’s syndrome has been offered a place on a camp to Africa after six months of fighting for it, according to her mother.

Leader reported in October last that Isabelle Curtis was told she was not allowed to go on a World Challenge trip to Africa because of her disorder.

Her mum, Kerrie Curtis, launched a petition on change.org which garnered about 25,000 signatures.

On Thursday, Mrs Curtis, who last year lodged a claim with the Victorian Equal ­Opportunity and Human Rights Commission, said she was told her daughter could go on the trip as a place had become available.

Mrs Curtis has been in mediation with the college at VCAT, but now plans to drop the action.

Brighton Secondary College principal Julie Podbury said she couldn’t comment in detail on the case as the matter was still before VCAT as a meditation and was subject to confidentiality.

Mrs Curtis said she was happy her daughter had the chance to fulfil her dream.

“We’re so relieved, you sit down and you start shaking,” she said.

“It was a huge trauma to get there, but we put that aside and celebrate.”

Mrs Curtis thanked the people who had supported her and signed the petition.

The World Challenge trip is being held in Africa in November.
