Road to Paris Olympic Challenge Finale

24th May 2024
On Friday 17th May, 6th Class joined an exciting Olympians LIVE! Zoom session to celebrate the Road to Paris Olympic Schools Challenge.

It was a fun filled session with 2 stars, Olympic Gymnast Rhys McClenagahan and awarding winning artist Kathi Burke, being asked questions from students in all 4 provinces. 

Rhys talked us through his recent win at the Europeans and he outlined what a day looks like for an Olympic athlete preparing for a big event. He also led us through a body-scan relaxation exercise that students can do themselves if they feel nervous or stressed. 

We then moved to Kathi who spoke about her journey to where she is now, illustrating books. Kathi then lead us through her process of drawing Rhys doing his pommel horse event. Rhys followed along with Kathi's tutorial.
