On October 26, 2024, the Parent Support Group welcomed another key speaker to share her journey as a parent with us. This time, it was none other than our very own iC2 Teacher Lay Hong! She shared her experiences raising two accomplished para-swimmers, Sophie and Colin, offering tips on navigating the unique journey of supporting para-athletes — the challenges involved and strategies for overcoming them. Her talk was followed by an engaging Q&A session.

Teacher Lay Hong’s session was both inspiring and enlightening, especially for parents interested in helping their visually impaired children engage in meaningful physical activities. The biggest takeaway was that sports truly are for everyone, and parents play a pivotal role in guiding their children in the right direction. Beyond physical fitness, sports can also shape an individual’s character and mental resilience.

Overall, it was a highly valuable session, and parents gained much insight from Teacher Lay Hong’s personal experiences.
