Joe Roebuck is coming to St Ambrose!

Joe Roebuck the 2012 Olympian, Double Commonwealth and European Medallist Swimmer will be coming to inspire us all on Thursday 28th February 2019!

Joe will run a 30-minute whole school assembly, telling us all about his achievements, goals and struggles he has faced during his sporting journey so far.

Joe will then run a 30 minute session for each class consisting of:

Fitness session

The first £250 raised will go to Inspired Through Sport, but we then receive 40%-50% of all money raised to go towards PE and sport in school! So if every child raises £10 each, we will receive between £700 and £1000! ... If every child raises £20 each, we will receive between £1500 and £2250! ... If every child raises £30 each, we will receive between £2300 and £3450!

Inspired Through Sport!

Inspired Through Sport are dedicated to supporting British Athletes and Inpsiring the next generation of sporting heroes!

They help GB's best on their journey to success through their #GivingBack athlete support programme.

WHY WE NEED TO SUPPORT ATHLETES:

Although athletes work and train hard, many rely solely on sponsorship from charities and families in order to reach their dreams and represent their country. Whilst very high-profile athletes will often be sponsored by large companies such as Nike and Adidas, many others struggle to raise enough funds to continue in their sport.

WHAT THEY DO & HOW THEY DO IT:

The #GivingBack athlete support programme provides over 300 GB athletes with funding, as well as access to a number of services that help them on their journey to GOLD.

These services include:

Physiotherapists
Nutritionists
Chiropractors
Athlete Mentors
Holistic Healers
Our Creative Media Team
Career Advisers
International Competition Travel
Performance Analysts

They fund our #GivingBack athlete support programme through either paid or sponsored visits from GB athletes to schools.

WHERE DO YOU COME IN?

In the lead up to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Inspired Through Sport will be bringing a GB athlete to visit our school on Thursday 28^th February 2019.

The day will start with an inspiring assembly led by the athlete, where they will share their sporting journey with the students, allowing them to understand the hard work and dedication needed in order to achieve success. Afterwards, each year group will complete a challenging fitness circuit with the athlete and have the opportunity for a meet & greet. During this time, they will also learn about healthy living and the importance of developing a growth mind-set.

Your child has received a sponsorship form to complete for the event. These forms should be completed and returned to the school office along with the money raised (which should be in a sealed envelope). The funds raised will not only support our GB sporting stars, but our school will also receive a large proportion of the money to enable them to purchase new PE equipment.
