Taita College is offering a TC Sport Performance to our student athletes.
The TC Sport Performance programme offers students athletes the opportunity to take part in extra training sessions with expert coaches to improve their sport-specific skills and knowledge.
Students then get to pay this forward by being supported to coach a sport of their choice at a local primary school, using an Action-Learning framework.
Throughout the year the student athletes will also have a chance to build on their leadership capabilities by taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze award scheme. The Duke of Ed award offers opportunities for students to develop new skills, engage in community service and take part in learning outside of the classroom.
A highlight of the year is the trip to the Hillary Outdoor Pursuit Centre in Coromandel.
Entry to this course is by application. Current year 9 students will have the opportunity to apply in Term 4.
TCPE gear is compulsory.
