Sports co-ordinator

My biggest role in leadership this year was stepping into the role of the whole school sports coordinator. This is a real passion of mine and I was really pleased to get this role. It was a real big learning opportunity for me organising whole school event such as athletics, tryathlon, cross-country etc. For me to do this it involved a lot of extra paper work and time to make this happen I had to be extremely organised. I also had to liaise with other schools/teachers and sports coordinators. As a whole I am really please at how Physical Education has developed at Kaingaroa School. All of the events that were planned ran smoothly and aligned with physical education in other schools and wider communities. I was able to privide opportunities for students to experience higher level sporting for example the Rippa Rugby team which I coached qualified to compete in the Northland wide competition which has never been done in the 5 years I have been teaching. I also had some really positive feedback from the other teachers , who have said that events were well run and easy for them to follow taking the organisation/ permission slips away from them . I think the feedback from the other teachers was really valuable and a confidence boost for me. Next year I hope to further improve physical education within the school.
