Year 7 PDHPE Receive a Very Special Visitor

Last week 7PE3 were lucky enough to have a visit from Rosemary Mula (Grandmother of Victoria, Year 7) during their PDHPE lesson. Following a talk during a year meeting earlier this year, Rosemary paid a special visit to the class to kindly distribute Olympic memorabilia from the Australian Olympic Committee. The pack received by each student included Australian Olympic team pins and stickers, along with a national pin from one of the National Olympic Committees that Rosemary assisted, including Malta, Kiribati, British Virgin Islands and Tonga.

Rosemary has volunteered at Olympic Games over the past 20 years and shared a variety of wonderful stories with the students. She also brought with her two replica Olympic Gold Medals for students to look at and hold from the 1952 and 1956 Olympic games. This was a gift given to her at the Opening Ceremony during the Sydney 2000 Games where she managed a team of volunteers. The students were mesmerised by these medals and gifts and were very grateful for the visit from Rosemary.

 We thank Rosemary for sharing her stories and kind gifts and look forward to the next visit.
