Coordinators
Wendy
Chapman (Wollondilly Public School) and Jenny Scheffers
(Merrylands East Public School). The ParaGames rap will
address English outcomes for Stage 3 students (English
K-6 syllabus).
A wide variety of resources will be referred to in
the ParaGames rap, and students will be invited to investigate
a number of aspects of the Paralympic Games in order
to respond and participate. Resources already in schools,
such as the Set no limits kit, will be important
sources of information.
Schools already participating in LEAP (Link Elite Athlete
Program) will find that program to be an excellent source
of information for responding to the rap points.
Students who will be attending the Paralympics will
be able to share their experiences with rappers from
all over NSW and Australia.
