******************************************************
On Friday 31st March the new PALs went on their first training at the Edgar Centre. It was run by Sport Otago. There were children from Opoho School and Silverstream school.
The aim of the training session was for the children to understand what their role is as a physical activity leader, identify the qualities of a good leader, develop team-building skills, explore possible activities they could teach the children at East Taieri, and most importantly have fun.
The children left the training session full of enthusiasm and they can't wait to start setting up games and activities for the children in Term 2.
