In a fun learning initiative, the Year 10 Physical Activity and Sports Studies (PASS) class organized a 'Mini-Olympics' for our Year 2 students. This event was part of the Year 10 students' unit on Event Management, moving their learning from the classroom to a real-world setting.
The morning's program, planned by the Year 10 students, included engaging games like tug o’ war, soccer, 'rob the nest', and relay races. These activities ensured a lively response from the Year 2 students, leading to a morning filled with fun, learning, and sportsmanship.
The 'Mini-Olympics' was an enriching experience for both the Year 2 and Year 10 students. The younger students enjoyed participating in the games, gaining an early exposure to teamwork and competition. For the Year 10 students, the event served as a practical platform to apply their knowledge of event planning and management, fostering skills like leadership, adaptability, and problem-solving.
One Year 10 student shared, "Seeing our plans materialize and witnessing the joy of the Year 2 students was incredibly rewarding. It truly helped us understand event management in practice." The success of the 'Mini-Olympics' demonstrated the power of experiential learning, enhancing academic understanding through practical application. Well done to all involved!
