The X Factor

Liam Malone an ex Birchwood student
visited near the end of the term.  He has no feet.

However we quickly found out that this hasn't stopped him from having an extremely active life.

We saw slides of him playing many different sports ranging from cricket, rugby and athletics to skiing, mountain biking, 

sky-diving AND

diving with sharks!

His next physical goal is to use his new high tech blades to run fast enough to compete in the 2016 Para-olympics.  Liam Malone certainly has The X Factor.
During Term 3 we will be looking at other New Zealanders who are also outstanding in their fields.
