Well done - Level 1 Award in Sports Leadership students

Ten pupils at Eastbourne Technology College have received their Level 1 Award in Sports Leadership. The award makes up part of the BTEC First Diploma in Sport qualification that the students are currently working towards.
As part of the course, the students had to plan and teach groups of Primary school children in ETC’s feeder Primary schools of Parkland, Highfield and Oakwood. The activities they taught varied from football, basketball, tag rugby and tennis.

They also organised rounders and a kwik cricket tournament.
Course Leader Darren Moore said: “All of these students have shown a great deal of leadership potential in the sporting arena. They have displayed a tremendous enthusiasm to help all pupils from Year 1 up to Year 6, in a number of sports. All of the Primary school teachers have commented on how well the Sports Leaders have shown a very caring and responsible attitude at all times. I hope that all or most of these students take up the challenge of the Level 2 Award next year.”

Welcome back to you all!!! I hope you have enjoyed your break and are refreshed and ready for the 08-09 year of sport her at ETC.
We have a few new things this year for you to look out for; these include badminton matches and gymnastic competitions. Hopefully this will inspire a few more of you to get active and get involved.

Term one fixtures will include boys football, girls netball and football.

Happy Reading

It’s that time to check the PE kit lists to see who has managed to keep a clean sheet in terms 3 and 4. 
As all pupils in KS3 know, they each have their name up in the PE changing rooms and if they forget their PE kit they get a KIT MARK.  There are 6 marks, each with their own sanctions; ranging from a caution, to detentions, or to a meeting with BBO and your parents.  If there are no marks by your name, you are put into our prize draw.

The following people have won a prize, please come and collect it from the PE office at break time.

Congratulations to the pupils that have a 100% record, although your name may not have been pulled out of the hat for a prize, the PE department does recognise you and your efforts!!  WELL DONE, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK IN PE, AND GOOD LUCK IN THE TERM 5 AND 6 DRAW!!

This is not meant as a moan, but PE staff give up a lot of their time at lunchtime and after school and we ask for the same commitment from all pupils.  Recently cricket nets have been poorly attended and our younger students have not attended the games.  When we cannot fulfil fixtures we let down everyone involved and ETCs reputation is affected.

Please can we all make an effort to get organised and attend practices and matches if you have committed to the team.  We have cricket, rounders and tennis matches coming up so please see teachers running that club to let them know if you are interested, otherwise some fixtures will have to be cancelled.
