On Tuesday 21st May, our Year 7 students had the opportunity to participate in a wheelchair basketball program as a part of our Inclusivity and Diversity Unit. Students took the afternoon to travel to Geneva and use their basketball courts.
Students met Paralympian basketballer, Katherine Reed and Katherine shared her testimony of her journey in life pre and post wheelchair. Students had a chance to better understand Katherine’s lifestyle by learning some wheelchair basketball skills, which then culminated in a scratch match between the Year 7's. Overall, students had a fantastic time learning and being challenged.
ICAS is an online academic competition that is designed to assess students’ higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills in English, Mathematics, Science, Writing, Spelling Bee and Digital Technologies. ICAS Assessments are available for students in Years 2- 8.
