Complicated topics, like the fraught relationship between the Paralympics and the Olympics, which take place in the same facilities but can receive uneven attention, are skimmed or skirted. And the highlighted athletes — to use the Avengers metaphor — appear far too much as Spiderman, rarely as Peter Parker.” – The New York Times Paralympics Australia – Rising Phoenix: A Study Guide – English 3 Understanding the film d) Describe how the local government and a) The documentary features nine public received and prepared for the athletes: London 2012 and Rio 2016 Paralympic Games. • Bebe Vio (Italy) e) What is the purpose of including Prince • Ellie Cole (Australia) Harry in this documentary? • Jean-Baptiste Alaize (France) f) There are a few references to Ancient • Matt Stutzman (USA) Greek mythology.

  • NSW Shines in Paralympic Medal Tally
    NSW shines in Paralympic medal tally 30 September 2008 Premier Nathan Rees today congratulated New South Wales’ Paralympic athletes who returned from Beijing with an impressive 48 medals. The Premier said we should all be proud of the 37 athletes from NSW who contributed to Australia’s final tally of 79 medals. “Not only are they world class athletes but they are outstanding role models for us all,” Mr Rees said. “NSW athletes returned with 16 gold, 18 silver and 14 bronze medals,” he said. The Paralympic team featured two of New South Wales’ Don’t DIS my ABILITY ambassadors – Athletics gold medallist Kurt Fearnley from Carcoar and Beacon Hill medal- winning cyclist Lindy Hou. “As ambassadors, Kurt Fearnley and Lindy Hou spread the message that people with a disability can lead everyday lives,” Mr Rees said. “They – like their team mates returning from Beijing – are an inspiration to others. “Every person who competed in the Paralympics returns to Australia a winner and an ambassador for people with a disability. “Their hard work, sacrifice and determination have been rewarded as they compete with the best athletes in the world.” Minister for Disability Services Paul Lynch said the Paralympians were an inspiration to the State’s 1.3 million people living with a disability. “People with a disability can do anything – the efforts of our Paralympians are proof of that,” Mr Lynch said. Minister for Sport and Recreation Kevin Greene said the New South Wales Institute of Sport had played a role in supporting the 36 athletes. “The Institute has been part of the Paralympic journey, providing scholarships and programs to give our athletes the support they need to perform to their capacity on the world stage,” Mr Greene said.

  • TERM 3 Friday 21 September 2012 IMPORTANT DATES on PAGE 3
    ISSUE 9 — TERM 3 Friday 21 September 2012 Editor: Mr John Albiston DEAR PARENTS, STAFF, STUDENTS AND FRIENDS MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL As a member of the “Revised Superannuation Scheme” I have been advised that there are significant financial benefits to resign from my position just before turning 55 years of age. Consequently, I need to put the interests of my family first and make the decision to resign as Principal of Frankston High School. It is with some trepidation that I take this option because it has been an absolute privilege to have led such a wonderful school community. It is common practice for Principals to take this option and then reapply for the position that they have vacated. I intend to reapply for the position and hope I will return in 2013 to lead our great school. No matter who is the Principal of Frankston High School from 2013 onwards, I have every confidence that it will continue to prosper. If there is one thing I know, it is the high quality people who comprise our school community (wonderful students, dedicated staff, parents who inspire their children to make the best of their learning opportunities, and supportive friends) that make our school such a special place to be. ELLIE COLE BRINGS HOME GOLD AT PARALYMPICS Ellie Cole graduated from Frankston High School in 2009. Ellie made her debut as the youngest member on the Australian Paralympics team in 2008. As one of the most promising swimmers in the Australian 2012 squad, she has not let Australia down in her second Paralympics.
