Health and Physical Education has concluded a fun and engaging Term 1, particularly within VET Sport and Recreation where students are provided opportunities to apply their knowledge in a practical setting.
The Year 11 VET Sport and Recreation students recently attended the Doncaster Athletics Track to assist with the St Clement of Rome Primary School Athletics Carnival. Students helped officiate a range of events including high jump, long jump, shot put, marshalling the track events and novelty events. The day was a great success for both the Year 11 students and the primary school students, with students demonstrating excellent teamwork, leadership and communication skills throughout the carnival. The excursion also provided valuable practical experience that contributes towards student observations and coursework requirements for the completion of their Certificate in Sport and Recreation.
Year 11 and 12 VET Sport and Recreation students also had the privilege of observing an AFL training session at the Richmond Football Club. Students then attended a presentation based on careers within the sport and recreation industry. Students also partook in a strength and conditioning session delivered by the Richmond Football Club's education arm, Richmond Institute. This experience gives the students a chance to observe and apply fitness concepts as well as an insight into careers in sport and recreation.
