Eaton vale Activity Centre

Tuesday, 09 December 2008 10:05

Sprowston Community High School recently worked with Clare Special School and Harford Manor School on a visit to Eaton Vale Activity Centre.

Report by Dale Edwards, Year 7.

During the day students from Sprowston High communicated with some sign language to people from the other Schools. We had to say things differently so that people would understand us. During the day we overcame personal fears by attempting new activities; this has improved our self confidence. We had to develop teamwork skills by leading a team and working with others. Throughout the day we succeeded with personal challenges, met new people and came across different disabilities.

There were many activities that we haven’t done before: canoeing, crate stacking and go karting along with signing.

Here is a quote from the day:
"Eaton vale was a dynamic day for me we had lots of fun and made new friends with disabililities and I would love to go again"

Disability Swimming Gala

Tuesday, 09 December 2008 09:41

In October five students represented the school in a sporting event. The event was a swimming gala for people with some sort of disability. Sprowston Community High School was the only mainstream school to take part which we were proud of as it demonstrated our inclusive standards.

The gala took place at the UEA where various swimming races were organised including free style and backstroke races. The races were of a non-competitive nature and aimed to provide students with a sense of achievement wherever they finished.

The atmosphere around the pool was full of excitement as the swimmers took part. All the schools encouraged each other throughout the day providing the students with a sense of self-belief and the confidence to overcome the challenges they faced.

It was an amazing day where students demonstrated their independence in a social setting and proved that if they believed in themselves then they can succeed in what ever they wish to do.
