Blue Light Canterbury PCT (Physical Competency Test) Competition
by Rachael Elliott
Recently, eight Oxford Aea School students participated in the Blue Light Canterbury PCT competition. This is the same physical test Police must undertake as part of their training. The day was packed with fun activities.

The children got the opportunity to practice CPR, dress up and sit in a police car, throw police spikes, enjoy a sausage sizzle, participate in a speed test, and compete in a variety of team building exercises, and the ākonga especially enjoyed competing against other schools in the PCT test. The PCT test had to be completed as a team, and it involved climbing over walls, jumping through a window, crawling under obstacles, and carrying weights.
The tamariki worked well as a team, supported each other and showed the school values throughout the day.
Weetbix Tryathlon
Well done to all of the students who participated in the Weetbix Tryathlon on Sunday 26 February.
It sounds like the students really enjoyed their day. Such a fantastic event for them to be part of and they should be very proud of their efforts. Maybe they will inspire more students to get involved next year.
