Great welcome back to school
Published 14 October 2008, Posted in National
Not many 15-year-olds would say they enjoyed their first day back at school, but for Paralympic champion and world record-holder Sophie Pascoe, yesterday was one school day she will never forget.
Sophie, who captured Kiwi hearts by winning three gold medals and one silver in swimming events at the Beijing Paralympics last month, returned to Lincoln High School yesterday but not without a fuss.
More than 1500 people gathered on the school’s main field to recognise Sophie’s outstanding achievements.

Minnie’s presentation on Be Accessibe was truly inspiring. disappointing to see those most in need of ‘enlightenment’ were absent….a great build up for the RWC and way beyond so up to those who did attend to be vocal! and spread the Be word!
