Last week Year 9 had the challenging task of organising a Mini-Olympic event for the Year 7 learners. They were allocated either a specific role such as Olympic Director or a space within the school in which they had to plan an activity. They were given time to plan the activity, decide roles within their group and trial the activity. They were given minimal support with the focus being on the learners taking responsibility for the event. Within a short period of time they were able to create a schedule, six activities, and awards for the Year 7 learners. It was a fantastic start to the year with each member of the Year 9 class taking responsibility for their individual role as well as a collective responsibility for the success of the overall event. Awesome work Year 9!
