'Pop Lacrosse' - sport workshops with local schools
This project was run by our sixth form girls who organised Lacrosse workshops for students from a variety of year groups with children in the local primary school who wouldn’t otherwise have had this opportunity.
They planned an afternoon, teaching the children a number of different skills before running a variety of different games for them. They worked hard to engage children who were out of their comfort zone whilst also seeking to stretch those who were very able.
St Mary's provides the Pop Lacrosse sticks and staff time. One member of staff organised and accompanied the group.
Positive feedback was received from the Deputy Head and teachers present. The children were challenged to try something new, helping to build confidence in their abilities.
This project involved, several girls in the LVI Form and children from Key Stage 2.
This is a single event, expected to be held yearly.
