Paralympic movement
Multiple layers of the human spirit pervade all aspects of the Paralympic movement. Elite athletes from across the globe gather together to underline the abilities of those society often excludes and views as different. Our perceptions are broken, our spirits are lifted and we see that triumph is everywhere: from the blind long jumpers to the the wheelchair athletes, and from the multiple layers of support staff and officials to the unsung coaches and physios.The Paralympics are a pinnacle of human endeavour and sacrifice.
Throughout November Fortismere's South wing foyer will showcase an exhibition of photographs by the Artist Simon Way. He has photographed the last four Paralympic games beautifully capturing the resilience of the human spirit to overcome adversity.
As part of the project to enhance visual literacy across the school each department has been asked to reflect on the photographs and how the theme, Resilience, can be interpreted through each subject area.
