Today we took part in a day of training to support us to become leaders across the school. Blair came and share his knowledge of tennis coaching with us and we learned what makes a good leader, how to be a good leader and to reflect on the difficulties of being an effective leader. We had lots of fun practising these skills in the classroom and in the gym hall. Our next step is to put these skills to use and deliver some tennis lessons across the school.
We worked really hard to write inspirational and motivating speeches to persuade our House Peers to vote for us as House Captains and Vice Captains.
This was a very nerve racking experience and we developed our confidence and resilience to complete this task. All the adults in the school were very impressed with how well written everyone’s speeches were and how confident they were talking in front of their peers.
Although we had some disappointment in the class, everyone dealt with this very well and were supportive of each other and celebrated each others success.
A great learning experience for all the Primary 7s.
Mr Houston then presented the House Captains and Vice Captains badges at the Award Assembly.
