Monday 22nd July marked the launch of the Olympics at Mountjoy School with a very special local guest making an appearance. Harry Stewart the Paralympic swimmer for Team GB started the day with a question and answer session for our KS3 and above students. This inspirational and uplifting talk gave the students an insight into the daily life of an athlete. Harry has so far won Gold at the European Para Swimming Championships, multi-classification Bronze at the world series event in Aberdeen and of course securing the para swimming national title in London at the Aquatics GB swimming.
The children loved the opportunity to talk to Harry and ask him questions about the sport. We were also privileged to hold his most precious medals.
Mountjoy School will be supporting Harry during his Olympic journey and you can too by watching the opening ceremony on the 28th August and Harry will compete on Monday 2nd September. Go Team GB!
