Sports for Champions Visit

4th Nov 2021

OCPS was thrilled to have paralympian Ayaz Bhuta visit today.

Ayaz won a gold medal at the Tokyo Paralymics this year as part of the GB Wheelchair Rugby Team. Born with an extremely rare genetic disorder called Roberts Syndrome (affecting the growth of bones), Ayaz stands at just 3'7".

Ayaz started playing club rugby in 2009 and was selected to play in a tri-nations tournament in Australia in 2010.  Despite some several set backs, Ayaz was selected for the GBWR Development Squad in 2011 and has gone from strength to strength ever since. 

Ayaz works just as hard off the court as he does on it. He travels to schools inspiring the next generation to achieve their dreams and change perception towards disability.

Thank you to everyone who sponsored children for the event. As a shcool, we raised an amazing total of £3,104.60. Well done OCPS!
