Sporting Hero - Shelly Woods!

Last Thursday St.Bernadette's were fortunate to have Shelly Woods present an inspirational assembly about her life and competitions in the Paralympics.

The children learned about her life changing circumstances, how she dealt with being in a wheelchair and how her enjoyment for sport and determination enabled her to follow her dreams, allowing her to compete at the highest level in the Paralympics.  She has won bronze and silver medals in the Paralympics, won marathons around the world and has even broken a world record.  Shelly Woods has opened the children's eyes to life in general, which has encouraged them to follow their dreams and not give up.  

Thank you very much Shelly Woods; you are a sporting hero and an inspirational person!​
