Pupils get a taste of V.I. sport

In April, a large group of pupils from St Francis Xavier Primary School visited RNC for a unique sports showcase. The event was organised by RNC students Dom, Jack, and Marcin as part of their Business Studies course.


RNC students managed all aspects of the event. They arranged meetings, liaised with the school, booked activities, and organised support and refreshments.

On the day, pupils enjoyed demonstrations and hands-on tasters in Judo (led by Coach Kieran), Goalball (introduced by students Catrin and Sam), and Blind Football (with RNC Coaches Adam and Kieran, and students Lucja and Olly).

Wearing eye shades, the young people experienced firsthand the challenges and importance of communication in sports for the visually impaired.

The afternoon was both educational and fun, culminating in refreshments served by Liz (staff) and Catherine (volunteer), providing a perfect ending to the day.
