Visitor to St Anne’s

We’re very excited to be welcoming GB Paralympic Sprinter Michael Churm to the school on Monday, 26 February (TODAY!!!).Through his career, Michael was consistently ranked in the world top 10 for ten years and he won a silver medal at the 2000 Sydney Paralympic Games.

Michael will be leading a sponsored fitness circuit with all pupils, and will follow-up with a talk and question and answer session. The aim of the event is toinspire the pupils to take up sport generally, but just as importantly to encourage them to discover and then pursue theirpassion in life.

A sponsorship form has been sent home. As the sponsorship form explains, much of the money that is raised will be used to buy sports equipment for the school, while also supporting GB athletes (including Paralympic athletes).

Please ensure that sponsorship forms and moneys arereturned to the school office on or beforeMonday, 05 March at the latest.

Please also make sure that your child/children come to school on the event day with their PE Kits!

Thank you in anticipation of creating a terrific and memorable event.
