The recent training day at Mainpower Stadium with Sport Canterbury was a fantastic opportunity for us to come together and learn new skills while having a great time.

Team work was at the heart of our day – we collaborated, problem solved, and supported each other every step of the way. It was wonderful to see everyone bringing their unique strengths to the table, making our experience even more fulfilling.

One of the best things about the training day was the chance to bring these new skills back into our schools. Whether it's introducing fun new activities during lunch breaks or leading group exercises in physical education, we're equipped to make a positive impact thanks to the valuable training we received.

A favorite activity to dive into is buddy reading. It's a great way to build confidence, share learning, and work together hand in hand. And what better time than a lovely Friday afternoon. The reading buddies are at different levels so that children can encourage others and inspire them to reach a higher level. It is great to see the engagement and pleasure the children display.
