The NSS Guidance Team organised a special online session for parents entitled:Working Together For Healthier Athletes. This session was aimed at giving parents a better understanding of the support services which are offered to our students at The National Sports School whilst also promoting a holistic approach towards looking after our students academically, socially and as athletes.A similar session was held also for the coaches and the PE teachers of the National Sport School. The introduction by the Guidance Team and our Sports Manager Mr. Claudio Azzopardi was followed by a description of the support services available to our students, by our counsellor Mr Chiara Vassallo, our Sport Psychologist Ms. Shona Zammit, our Physioterapist Mr. Cedric Sciberras and our Nutritionist Shylene Taliana.
The National Sport School has just celebrated the 10th anniversary since its founding. During the activities to mark this event, it was announced that, as from next scholastic year the National Sport School shall extend its programme to include athletes from Special Olympics Malta and the Malta Paralympic Committee. It is a notable step forward in the school’s aim of becoming ever more inclusive both in the training of its athletes as well as the academic curriculum it offers.
