LEOTC - Relationship to Key Competencies
Managing Self
Students will identify their own strengths, values and beliefs and how this corresponds with those around them “knowing who they are and where they fit in’. Students will develop an understanding of ways to interact appropriately and productively with others.
Relating to Others
Through a range of co-operative and competitive activities students will be encouraged to develop ways to communicate effectively, and work together towards team success.
Participating and Contributing
Students will participate in a range of activities which require team members to actively participate and work together, utilising the diversity amongst their team to succeed.
Thinking
Students will participate in a range of problem solving activities requiring them to share ideas, think outside the square and utilise the ideas of others.
Year 8/9 Team Building Programme
This one day programme is based at either the Christchurch or Geraldine Ropes Course. It provides students with the opportunity to explore different aspects of positive and effective team work through participation in a range of hands on Adventure Based Learning activities.
Students will have the opportunity to gain different tools and ideas which will help them to keep a positive attitude during challenging physical and social situations
After developing these skills during the morning, students will take part in an active team versus team competition to see if they can continue to put their new skills into practice under pressure
Each student will work in a small team of 10 – 12 participants and will be supported throughout their day by a trained Horizons Unlimited facilitator.
