Comments from some of the students who took part
in the many varied activities
Samantha from the blue watch said it was amazing
and I love the practical aspects of the
course. Kris from the Green Watch said I would
like to become a Fire Fighter now Andrew from
Red Watch I had a lot of fun working with the
army on team building exercises Connie from
Green Watch I now know what I want to do when I
leave School I am joining the Police

Course

What is going well

The class has gelled as a team
16

What I will do Differently? Assessment can
this be reduced? Look for ways of getting some
of the Unit 4 work done by using some of the
teamwork done in Unit 1 and from the relationship
with the main partners Planned to get uniform
for the physical activities but was unable to get
funding
