Last Thursday morning 2 of our Year 12 SLR students put what they had been learning in class into practice and they were set up with a big challenge… Year 7 PDHPE. When Year 7 found out that Manon Zoehner and Jackson Keane (Year 12) would be running their practical lesson, they couldn’t have been happier. Year 7 were told not to take it easy on them, but the pair delivered a highly engaging and fun lesson. The lesson started with some basic skill development games so they could understand the sports. They then started playing some small-sided (non-contact) games. Given the current COVID-19 restrictions, the students had to think of games that they may not have traditionally played. They were not able to rely on Touch Football or Basketball, instead they ran with games of kick tennis, dodgeball variation game and a football kicking battle.
There was praise aplenty, from both staff and students involved in the lesson, with some students even asking if the Year 12 students could do it again. It was good to see the sportsmanship and encouragement from all students that were participating.
