Last week, the Junior School was privileged to witness a wonderful display of leadership and event management skills as Year 10 PASS (Physical Activity and Sports Studies) students took charge of assisting with the Junior School Swimming Carnival. In performing these duties, it highlighted the significant learning opportunities that transpire across our College community.
The event saw Year 10 PASS students actively engaging in a multitude of responsibilities, ranging from event coordination to hands-on assistance in the pool. It was wonderful to see these budding leaders immerse themselves in all aspects of the day to ensure smooth running of the carnival and also maximise the enjoyment for Junior students, staff, and spectators.
One of the notable aspects of their involvement was the way they jumped into the water, offering guidance and encouragement to primary school students who were competing in their first-ever race. The PASS students were amazing in supporting them to get to the finish line regardless of their swimming ability.
By actively participating in the learning and execution of the swimming carnival, Year 10 PASS students gained invaluable insights into event management, teamwork, and leadership. Moreover, they embodied the College's commitment to fostering a culture of service and community engagement.
Thank you on behalf of the College to all the Year 10 PASS students involved.
