OLYMPIC CHAMPION VISITS

Lynley shows us her Bronze medal


Lochie tries the medal on

Emily and Uluru


Rooms 13, 1 and 3 were very lucky to have a visit from Lynley Coventry (nee Hannen). Lynley won a Bronze medal at the 1988 Olympics Games in Seoul, Korea. Lynley and Nikki Payne won the medal for rowing in the Coxless pair 2000m race. We were all allowed to hold the medal - it was quite big and VERY heavy.

Lynley told us all about how she got to be an Olympic champion and reminded us that:
WE CAN ALL ACHIEVE IF WE AIM HIGH!

Hi Room 13

What a cool class you are. I had a lot of fun being a student teacher in your room. Hope you are all working hard again now for Helen and writing fabulous stories about all the neat things you get to do.

Look forward to seeing what other interesting events get posted on your blog.
