Guildford West Public School (GWPS) teacher and para-athletes supercoach, Breanne Clement, dialled into her school from Paris to give her support unit students a firsthand account of her exploits at the Paralympics.

The students asked a range of questions; from what it was like coaching seated shot putter Rosemary Little, to her highlights of the event and the ambiance in the Olympic Village.

“Being in the whole Australian team environment; seeing how all the sports work together; seeing all the behind the scenes (was great)," she said.

"Getting to see swimmer Alexa Leary (gold medal winner and world record breaker in the Women’s 100 metre freestyle S9) - she’s just great - so getting to see those guys compete, they’ve been highlights.”

Responding to a question about the village environment and whether she was sleeping on a “carboard bed”, Breanne admitted there was a lot of it about.

“They (the Paralympics) are very serious about waste separation,” she said.

“Everything here is sustainable. There are signs everywhere telling you to separate your waste; reuse everything. Everything here is made out of reused equipment.”

She also said her students would “love it here”.

“It’s free ice cream, free pizza; free Coke,” she said. “You can go to the dining hall any time of the day or night and all your food is there.”

Breanne said Little gave her “goosebumps” when competition started. She put on a great performance to finish sixth.

“The crowd is insane. They’re so loud. They’ve got all the flags; the drums; they’ve got trumpets. They cheer for everything, so it was definitely a proud moment; probably a bit overwhelming. It’ll set in more when I go home,” she said.

Breanne had a golden start to her career in 2011 when she coached her first Australian para-athlete, Guy Henly, to a gold medal in the discus, and silver in shot put at the World Championships.

Guy is set to compete tonight and is a medal chance in what Breanne described as a very even competition among eight athletes.

Breanne’s rising status as a para-athletics coach over the years saw her poached by able-bodied athletes.

In 2014, she coached able-bodied athletes at the Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, where hammer thrower Alexandra Hulley won a silver medal. She also served as the team coach at the Youth Olympic Games and at the World Cup in Morocco.

Since then, she’s been the Australian team coach for the World Para Championships in Doha in 2015, and the Rio Paralympics in 2016.

Breanne’s passion for working with people with disability extends to the classroom where at Guildford West Public School, she is a support unit teacher.

GWPS Principal, Kerry Weston, said Breanne was very passionate about every child reaching their own potential and each child having opportunities.

“Breanne's philosophy of focusing on ability, not disability, has set her apart in the coaching community,” Ms Weston said.

“Her integrated squad of para and able-bodied athletes stands as a testament to her commitment to this principle.”
