In Term 2, our Year 10 Physical Activity and Sport Studies (PASS) students had the exciting opportunity to put their learning into action by running a Mini Olympics Gala Day for Year 2 students.

As part of their current unit on event management, PASS students have been preparing to plan, organise and deliver a successful sporting event. Working in small teams, each student was allocated a specific role essential to the smooth running of the day. These roles included President, Vice President, Event Managers, Sport Coaches, Sport Officials, Physios and First Aid, and Marketing and Media Managers.

In the lead-up to the event, students researched their roles, developed plans and collaborated to ensure every aspect of the Gala Day was covered. On the day itself, they demonstrated excellent leadership, communication and teamwork skills while guiding our Year 2 students through a variety of fun and engaging Olympic-style activities.

The younger students had a fantastic time, and it was clear that the PASS students took pride in creating an enjoyable and well-run experience. Beyond just a sporting event, the day highlighted the value of responsibility, preparation and peer-led engagement.

Well done to our Year 10 PASS students for their professionalism and enthusiasm. This was a great example of learning beyond the classroom.
