Blue Light Canterbury PCT (Physical Competency Test) Competition

rachael Elliott —

Eight students participated in the Blue Light Canterbury PCT competition. Which is the same physical test Police must undertake as part of their training.

The day was packed with fun activities. The children got the opportunity to practice CPR, dress up and sit in a police car, throw police spikes, enjoy a sausage sizzle, participate in a speed test, and compete in a variety of team building exercises, and the ākonga especially enjoyed competing against other schools in the PCT test. The PCT test had to be completed as a team, and it involved climbing over walls, jumping through a window, crawling under obstacles, and carrying weights. The tamariki worked well as a team, supported each other and showed the school values throughout the day.
