Students completing the Community Sports Coach IDEA’s Program delivered a Multi-sports Gala Day for the Year 3 and 4 Students this week. This event was the culmination of learning how to plan and deliver sports clinics to meet the needs of a specific participant group. Senior School students developed their communication, teamwork, problem solving and leadership skills as they planned for and delivered the clinic. It was fantastic to see the students build rapport with the Year 3 & 4 students and deliver what was a successful sports clinic. Thank you to the Year 3 & 4 Students and Teachers for participating in this real-life learning activity for our Senior School students.

What do we mean by ‘personalised learning? Personalisation has too often been confused with other terms that indicate close relationships between teachers and students. While these relationships are vitally important, they do not necessarily mean that the student is receiving an educational service that is designed to meet their individual needs. We celebrate the fact that today’s teachers make more of an effort to recognise students as individuals, as opposed to previous decades when students were expected to keep quiet, put their heads down, and follow instructions. Despite this, we contend that the education supply chain remains focused on the teacher and not on each student.
