Sports and Recreation

Year 11 and 12 Sport and Recreation students have had a busy couple of terms! They started with exploring their dance skills across a number of genres, including Hip-Hop, Indigenous Contemporary Dance, and Step. Students also did strength sessions at the gym, and a module on learning to coach table tennis. Girl Academy was fortunate to have Paul Uttley – a Level 2 Nationally Accredited Table Tennis coach – deliver a session on teaching coaching skills. Paul generously volunteered his time each week for the rest of the term and was impressed with the students’ potential! He taught students many tips and tricks, which the seniors used when delivering their coaching sessions to staff and students. The skills involved in coaching sessions included delivering instructions, communicating clearly, building rapport, demonstrating and modelling table tennis skills, and giving feedback to name a few. Well done girls – Madeleine and Paul were very proud and privileged to witness your growth throughout the module!
