VET Sport & Recreation – Escape Room Experience

VET Sport and Recreation students are currently working on the unit BSBCRT301 – Develop and extend critical and creative thinking skills. Students had the opportunity to test their thinking skills by working in teams to complete an Escape Room challenge at Xcapade in Fairfield.

Reflection by Jasmine Kennedy 10K:

As a Vet Sport and Rec excursion, we went to an escape room in Fairfield called Xcapade. We were split into four groups. Two groups went into the escape rooms and the other two went down to Bean Counter, the cafe directly under Xcapade, and played a board game called ‘The Resistance’. It required us to use a lot of critical and strategic thinking. The escape room involved being locked in a room with our group of six and then using clues, hints and teamwork. We needed to get combinations or keys to unlock padlocks or to unlock a suitcase that then has more clues or equipment in it to help us open more locks, to eventually unlock the door and escape from the room. Both of these activities linked to our topic of creative thinking and gave us all a better understanding of thinking outside the box.

At the Sports Carnivals

This year at the athletics carnival the students studying VET Sport and Recreation had the chance to help run the events. We were all assigned a job for the day, ranging from track and field events, to helping at the results table. I was assigned to help run shot put on the day. It involved a lot of measuring, name calling and collecting the shot put. The whole day ran extremely smooth, and everyone did their jobs to an excellent standard making all competitions fair and having the day run perfectly.
