Challenge and overcoming them to achieve and be successful

This assembly focuses on students looking at how we and the world prejudge people, situations, events, lessons, experiences based on the "whats in front of us" rather than what is beneath the surface.

Oskar Schindler - prejudged as a German, doing awful things to Jews yet he was actually helping them
Stephen Hawking - prejudged by the way he looks, yet is the most intelligent man!!
The clips link to susan boyle - prejudged but went on regardless and achieved
James arthur - difficult home circumstances and troubled start but again went on to achieve
Ussain Bolt - assumptions he would win, but other athletes still tried and Ussain came 3rd!

Goes onto audience participation - i had two teachers all with food covered in chocolate (cheese, garlic, pasta etc) and pretended it was foul things (a bit like bush tucker trial!) and had a chocolate coin at the end for them - the point of it being that sometimes life, lessons, work, experiences are hard and not great, but to get the end prize the grade, the result, the overcoming of fear, that we have to go through these things to be better!).

Music is "we could be heroes"
