Team Building

Team Building:

This term our Gr 5/6’s will participate in a Team Building program that involves various challenges.  The activities are designed to build relationships, problem solve, negotiate, recognise strengths, resilience and most importantly to have fun. Points are awarded for the activity and self-evaluations are done by each class to get extra points.
