Red Cross Cadets took lessons into their own hands last week, with students being responsible for coming up with ideas to enhance the team-work skills of their peers.
Under the supervision of staff, small groups of senior cadets came up with a variety of team activities which required the remaining students to work well together to deliver outcomes.
Photographed here are one of the events - a chain obstacle course. Students were provided with protective wear, tied together with a rope, and then made to traverse a range of obstacles. From going down a slide, to carrying a team member on an inflated tractor inner-tube, to crawling under playground equipment – the students were challenged to think through possible solutions. To make the scenario a little more complicated, two of the team members were blind-folded. Communication, problem-solving, care for others and support of one another were all necessary to complete the timed event. Once a time was recorded, the next team rotated through to see if they could work better and achieve a better result.
A great fun way to work together, that saw a lot of laughter, as well as learning experiences.
