Adam Deans, World Champion wheelchair basketball player visits Year 7 Big Ideas

This term in Big Ideas, the Year 7 students are answering the big question, 'What is the Greatest Gift in the World?'

This has seen them review their definition of the word 'gift,' and visit workshops centred around food, water, education and health.

This week, we were lucky enough to be joined by Adam Deans, a current World Champion wheelchair basketball player for Australia. He spent an hour talking to the Year 7 students, and sharing his inspiring story. The Year 7 students had lots of questions for him, and were fascinated by his prosthetic leg.

Adam left the group with the message that we should be grateful for what we have in life, and that we should make the most of our gifts everyday.

The Year 7 students have all created a website to show what they have learned this term. This will be regularly updated, and currently contains a blog post explaining what they have found out from their workshops.
