Dragon for Bobath

On Sunday the 13^th of September 2009 a group of staff, pupils and parents from Whitchurch High School got together to compete in a charity dragon boat race for the Lord Mayor of Cardiff’s charity Bobath. Bobath aim is to make a difference to children who have cerebral palsy.

The group involved were Mr M Williams (DT), Mr S Williams (PE), Ms R Attwell (PE), Ms G Francis (PE), Mr C Harris (DT), Mr M Sweetman, Ms B Boulter (SEN), Mr A Smith (Science), Aneurin Campbell (Yr 12), Lewis George (Yr 11) and Lewis’ dad Mr P George.

The event was held over 3 rounds. The teams with the fastest time would then compete in the final. Whitchurch had won every single one of their rounds, even beating one team by 10 seconds! But alas, it was not enough. They lost out to make the final by 0.4 of a second!

Out of 15 teams, Whitchurch had come 5^th overall. Every single one of the group thoroughly enjoyed the day had had raised over £300 for the charity.
