The 13 OUTE students went to Takapuna Normal Intermediate School (TNIS) throughout March to run some physical activity sessions as part of their leadership internal assessment. They led the Year 7 and 8 students through problem solving and team building challenges, sports, dance, and Outdoor Ed based activities.
Their goal was to practice different leadership styles whilst engaging the students in fun, interactive, and physically active sessions.
The Year 13’s had a great experience and had the following comments to share:
“Over the course of the session, the personalities of the intermediate students shone through and we were able to form good connections.”
“It was good to be able to relate to them on a personal and genuine level, and we felt like we really got to know them.”
“It was really cool to see their faces when they announced that we were in year 13. We felt like role models.”
Everyone had a great time throughout the three weeks. We look forward to returning again next year!
