On Monday, 14 YR9 students travelled to Christchurch primary school to lead on their annual sportsday. This is an event where we as an academy have been asked to lead on for the last 5 years due to our excellent leaders. The day started with a carousel of activities for the infants where they took part in 5 different stations testing their balance, co-ordination and speed. These stations were fantastically lead by our pupils who showed excellent leadership skills to explain and motivate throughout, the students and the parents were highly complimentary of the students and how helpful they were.
The day then went over to the track where all students competed in a series of running races which our students helped massively with not only the start of the races but also at the finish line by motivating and cheering on the students to do well in their race. The girls also then congratulated 1st 2nd and 3rd place with stickers which was very received by the pupils.
The YR9s were a credit to Smestow academy and represented the school exceptionally well. Showcased themselves, the PE department and the school in the best light by being friendly, well mannered and very helpful. Lots of parents, staff and students were very complimentary of our students stating how helpful they were and it would not have ran as well without them.
Well done all.
