Year 8 Raising Awareness Project

As part of a recent Citizenship Day programme Year 8 Students investigated the area of Disability. They then narrowed down the topic to wheelchair access and design under the expert guidance of Mr Keane and the Design Technology team. The boys were tasked with designing and drawing a modern wheelchair having studied the athletes from the 2012 Paralympic Games. The top three Students selected for prizes were:

Cairo Ubiaro

Thawiur Rashid

Tainlin Lao.

Ms Jane Hatton who is Director of Evenbreak as well as the Patron of a College for Disabled Students kindly came into HGS to present the prizes. Jane commented on the outstanding quality of the work as well as the positive attitude shown towards disability at HGS.
