![]() ![]() The Challenge ![]() ![]() ![]() If they are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to attend school, the disabled may then be expected to achieve academically, however it is often not expected that they will compete and even excel in physical activities. ![]() Building Confidence ![]() At SKSN we place equal importance on physical education and academic studies to explode these myths. ![]() Chanchal, a physically challenged student at SKSN - ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In 2002 and 2003 the children have taken part in UK's National Mini Games - a mini version of the Para Olympics - for 8-12 year olds, and have left with most of the gold medals and trophies. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As well as taking part in a full sports curriculum, our kids also take part in the recently developed IMAGE program supported by the Laureus 'Sport for Good Foundation'. This program brings together physically challenged and able bodied kids to compete together, alongside each other as opposed to against each other, in a range of sports. ![]() This special emphasis on physical education at the school, has led the SKSN students to build up their self-esteem and gain copious amounts of self-confidence. Sports have brought out the 'other side' of the children too… the sunny side, the joys, the aspirations, the hopes, the talents - some still dormant - the opportunity 'to be' and not merely 'exist'. |
