VET SPORT AND RECREATION

Year 7 Camp Leaders

An integral part of VET Sport and Recreation course involves students delivering activity sessions to a variety of groups. To meet this requirement the year 12 VET class attended the year 7 camp and delivered a variety of activity sessions including canoeing, raft making, mountain biking and tabloid games. All students in the class performed extremely well in this assessment. Some of the students were even offered part time work with the camp organiser!

Below are some of the student reflections from the camp:

“If one activity is taking longer than expected, but the kids are still having fun, then you may as well continue with that activity rather than stop it early just so you can do the next activity that you have written down on your lesson plan.”

“I learnt a lot but the best thing and most helpful was the ability to have fun with the students.”

“I learnt to pause rather than raise my voice to get everyone's attention.”

“Don't just have one tone of voice- it doesn't have the same effect and that it's really important to be able to adapt to what the students interests are.”
