Eleni, a dedicated basketball player, has faced significant challenges over the past few years. Several months ago, she suffered a devastating injury, rupturing the ACL in her knee. The road to recovery was long and arduous, requiring surgery followed by over a year of intensive rehabilitation. Despite the physical and emotional toll, Eleni remained steadfast, working tirelessly to regain her strength and return to the sport she loves.
Just as she made her triumphant return to the basketball court, tragedy struck again. Eleni sustained the same injury, this time in her other knee. This means she will once again undergo surgery, scheduled after her Mock exams, and face another lengthy rehabilitation process.
Eleni’s story is not just one of setbacks but also of incredible resilience. Her unwavering spirit has inspired those around her, including the basketball community in Cyprus, who recently came together to honour her journey. A heartfelt article was published over the weekend, highlighting her courage and the support she has received from her peers and mentors.
As a school, we believe that resilience is one of the most important life lessons we can teach and celebrate. Eleni’s story is a reminder that setbacks do not define us; it is how we rise from them that truly matters. Her determination to overcome these challenges serves as an inspiration to us all, especially to her fellow students who may be facing their own struggles.
We would like to extend our heartfelt support to Eleni as she embarks on this next phase of her recovery. We have no doubt that her strength and perseverance will carry her through, and we look forward to seeing her back on the court, stronger than ever.
Please follow this link to read the full article celebrating Eleni’s resilience and the support she has received from the basketball community.
Let us all take a moment to acknowledge Eleni’s courage and remind ourselves of the power of resilience in overcoming life’s challenges.
The workshop explored the use of AI tools, the impact of algorithms, and the potential risks to mental health, privacy, and information. Dr. Xinari's expertise in the field provided a valuable framework for understanding the relationship between technology and children, encouraging a balanced approach. The successful event empowered parents with practical strategies for promoting online safety and responsible digital citizenship.
The school remains committed to continuing this important dialogue and supporting families as they navigate the ever-changing world of technology.
