Yesterday we had a visit from Luke Patience who competed in the 470 class at the 2012 Summer Olympics and won a silver medal. Luke spent the afternoon with us talking to pupils and staff about his training, sponsorship and winning a silver medal. Mrs Pender, our Primary 3/2 class teacher taught Luke to dinghy sail when he first took up sailing, so this visit had an extra special meaning for her.
At the end of his visit Luke was presented with a Kilcreggan Primary School polo shirt which we hope he will wear with pride!
Wow! How exciting to meet a local Olympic Hero and actually touch an Olympic medal. Fantastic news from Kilcreggan.
