Team challenges 1 and 2
Students will work in small groups to complete a series of challenges. Each of these activities is designed to assist students to understand and develop leadership qualities, teamwork and resilience.
On completion, students will reflect on each activity and the qualities they thought were important in providing an effective outcome.
What is a leader?
Studnets work to define leadership and identify characteristics to work on. The activity will culminate with an opportunity to create their own personal leadership crest.
During this session, schools also have an opportunity to run a school specific workshop in conjunction with Gibberagong EEC staff to define and develop a plan for a student-led project.
OR
Kayak or Canoe challenge
Depending on the program location, the students will undertake a kayak/canoe activity on either the Cowan Creek (at Bobbin Head) or in the waters of The Basin (at Pittwater). During their activity, students will need to work in a coordinated way to solve problems, requiring effective teamwork, communication and critical thinking skills. There will be a discussion after each challenge to help develop students’ skills in reflection and critical thinking.
