We are inviting your school to see differently – Meet George!
Raising awareness of vision impairment in children
New College is excited to be hosting our new, free, primary school initiative. We want you to join us in understanding what it’s like for our NCW students living with a vision impairment, learning how to do things, at times, a little differently.
Our aim
“We would love to share our students’ experiences in an open discussion around what it’s like as a child to live with a vision impairment. Our aim is to give your students an insight into the world of a person who is visually impaired, outlining some of the differences (and similarities!) between us all and discuss ways in which young people can overcome barriers and achieve happiness and success.”
Choose a visit to suit you
We can offer a combination of:
- Virtual Assembly which can be streamed directly to classrooms.
- A visit from Vika our Youth Engagement officer to deliver an assembly to your pupils.
- A pre- recorded assembly to play to your pupils.
- Virtual or in person workshops all about vision impairment and how students at NCW learn.
- Classroom resources and plans for your teachers to deliver themed activities.
I just wanted to extend a huge thank you for arranging the visit to my daughter's school yesterday. It was such a wonderful experience, and both she and the staff were absolutely thrilled. Your efforts in making this happen are greatly appreciated, and it truly made a positive impact on everyone involved and their understanding of people with a visual impairment.
