Year 10 PASS Students Inspire Year 7 Through Coaching

This Term, Year 10 PASS (Physical Activity and Sports Studies) students stepped into the role of coaches, leading Year 7 students through practical skill development sessions as part of their assessment task.

Year 10 students were able to select a sport of their choice—ranging from NRL, Oz Tag, Netball, Basketball, or Cricket—and design engaging activities tailored to younger students. Their challenge was to teach, motivate, and provide constructive feedback to improve Year 7 students’ performance and understanding of the sport.

The sessions were a huge success, with Year 7 students showing great enthusiasm and energy as they participated. The younger students enjoyed learning in a supportive and fun environment, and many commented on how encouraging and approachable their Year 10 coaches were.

Our PASS students demonstrated outstanding leadership, communication, and organisational skills. They motivated Year 7 to persist with challenges, provided targeted feedback to refine their skills, and celebrated improvements along the way.

This experience not only enhanced the confidence of our Year 7 students but also gave Year 10 the chance to apply their theoretical knowledge in a real coaching setting—building both their teaching skills and their appreciation for the responsibilities of being a mentor.

A big congratulations to all our PASS students for their effort, maturity, and commitment.
