Sports students at BCOT put their leadership and sporting skills to the test when they helped lead a Primary School Multi Skills Festival at the Hurst Community College.
The students involved were Matt Heslin, Camilla Brewster, Jenna Thain and Callum Lane. All four are studying on the National Diploma in Sport. They spent the day helping local children to participate in activities which worked on their agility, balance and coordination.
Peter Haggith, the School Sports Coordinator for the Hurst, said:
‘The leaders from BCOT played a massive part in the success of the event and we would like to send them a big thank you for doing such an excellent job.’ All the leaders came away saying they had a brilliant time and would love to do it again!
Kitty Yarwood, lecturer and sports co-ordinator at BCOT, said:
'The students really inspired the children at the event to do their best! They were motivational and enthusiastic and ensured the children had a fun afternoon.
“I am very proud of them and look forward to working with them all next year when they are part of the BCOT Sports Council, a group aimed at improving sport at both the college and school levels.'
