WP in the Pinnacle Race 2010! - 22nd May
We were approached by the NP X-ventures club , to set up as one of the obstacle course in the Pinnacle! Viewing it as a chance to showcase wheelchair basket ball to the public, we took up the offer and went about planning what we should present as a challenge.
In the end, we've decided to make use of the 3 basketball courts in Kismis as our venue. Teams are suppose to pick a player and wheel any one of the wheel chair across the 3 courts, to the last court. Positioning themselves anywhere behind the 2point line, or the red area (as coloured on the kismis courts). Having to take 5 shots before they can wheel back to the starting point, but if they can get 2 in out of the 5 given, they will be given the advantage to wheel back! That's all to it, simple!
We could tell from their faces that some of them truly enjoyed the above. And though it might be a bit late, but congrats to all winners!
Date of events : 4th ~ 6th may.
The Comm service week was created by a group of students from several community service clubs, and under the supervision of Mr Dy. We basically set up booths along NP orchard road,showing pictures and additional details about different community service events carried out by various CCA clubs. This allow us to show to the students of NP that our community service CCA clubs are active. The results were quite astonishing, considering the number of people approaching the different clubs to ask for more info about the different clubs for a better perspective.
The above said applies to wheelpower too! Overall, a job well done.
On the last day of the comm service week, we got stalks of carnations, paired it with birthday bears with 3 different months printed on them(both provided by the handicap welfare association(HWA)). For $10, you'll get a stalk of flower(comes in different colours) and a bear of your choice(3 different colours).
The price maybe steep for some, but for charity, no amount is too great. We manage to sell all 30pairs of flowers and bears, and gathered a total of $300, all proceeds goes to HWA. Showing everyone out there that NP students do have a big heart.
Sorry for the lack of photos this time round. None was taken in the hectic rush.
With that, here's wishing everyone a happy term break, or whatever is left of it.
