Build and improve resilience, communication, problem-solving and camaraderie with our exciting small group challenges.
Explore our unique and practical approach to building better student collaboration and empathy.
Throughout this engaging and thought-provoking 90 minute incursion, students focus on building their communicative, empathic and resilience skills through a series of fun-filled activities. Younger students (Years F-2) will explore ‘getting along’, encouragement, turn-taking and communication skills. Older students (Years 3-6) build on trust, leadership and resilience through physical and mental problem-solving challenges. We use different equipment depending on the age and ability of students. All students are encouraged to reflect on their skills and how they add value to a team environment.
By adjusting this incursion to suit your focus needs, our qualified teachers will guide all students through each learning activity, prompting them to observe, investigate, communicate and reflect along the way.
