Scarva Primary School pupils take on a Five Star sporting challenge

The Five Star Disability Sports Challenge saw the schoolchildren take part in a range of disability sports challenged in an initiative hoping to contribute to the legacy of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Scarva pupils were among 100 schools across Northern Ireland to take part in the event which aims to inspire and encourage more disable and non-disabled children to become active in sport.

Angela Hendra MBE, Chairperson Disability Sports NI said, “We are simply delighted with the Five Star Challenge Education Project and are happy that Scarva Primary School have so enthusiastically come on board.

“We know the project will showcase disability sport in a very positive way, challenge negative attitudes, and will inspire both disabled and non disabled children to participate and excel in sport.”

Disability Sports NI will be running the ‘5 Star Disability Sports Challenge’ in primary schools throughout Northern Ireland up to 2012. For more information on the project contact DSNI on 028 9038 7062 or [email protected].
