Tabloid Sport Assistance

On Thursday 24th March, the Year 11 and Year 12 VCAL students assisted with the running of the Saint Thomas Primary Schools Tabloids Sports morning.

Students managed and organised six activities on the oval including three legged races, egg and spoon race, nerf ball dodge and hockey stick dribbling. Mr Saltalamacchia from Saint Thomas Primary was grateful to the students for all their energy, enthusiasm and help on the day.

It was a fantastic morning and fabulous to observe the mature way that our students engaged and lead the Primary School students in their events. Our students displayed positive role modelling, initiative and great communication skills – which are transferable into any workplace! Applying these transferable skills in a variety of settings allows WRS and PDS teachers to observe our students growth in the VCAL program.

One of the highlights of the event was that for some of our Year 12 students – including, Matthew Warrick, Patrick Brady and Luke Preece, it was a trip down memory lane and they were able to reminisce with the about their time spent as Grade 3/4 students all those years ago!
