A choices assembly ideal for children or Years 5 and upwards to year 9 or so - It is a bit basic and was a bit off the cuff however, having done this to a large year group of top heavy boys who were very sporty, it did very much appeal to them and the activties within in it in regard to choices and the choices we make in life.
The video is based on a Guiness advert but does not really reference this and is done as a documentary style
Ashwin Willemse: The Right Path tells the story of a man who had a choice of two paths when growing up. One dictated to him by a notorious Cape Town gang, and one he would need to make for himself, to follow a path to the pinnacle of rugby. The film celebrates the choice that he made to defy his circumstances, and with the encouragement of those around him, he became who he really wanted to be, eventually winning 19 caps for his country and becoming a World Champion in 2007.
The video is emebeded in the powerpoint and should work ! Any problems do give me a shout - this would be ideal for a pick up and go assembly ! Enjoy !
