Playmakers Leadership Event

8th November 2022Mrs D Curtis

Well done to twelve Year 7’s who attended the playmakers leadership course at Aldersley Stadium.

I really cherished my experience at the playmakers leadership event. The reason for this is because the members of staff had organised the event very well. They had also taught us how to prepare a game so that everyone was included and would be able to have fun. They showed us that sometimes you have to make the activity easier or harder so that it is still enjoyable for everyone.

We played a variety of different games and socialised with others around us. Some of the activities included working as a team, playing competitive games such as dodgeball, tennis and benchball.

My overall thoughts of this event are that I have become more confident in being a leader by becoming more sociable with others around me.

Thank you to Mrs Ridley for taking the group.
