Girls in Sport - Learn to Sail
As part of Foxwell State Secondary College’s ongoing commitment to engaging with the community, the College, through the Sporting Schools Grant Funding, has been able to offer a Girls in Sport Inititiative for Term 1. The initiative is a sailing program which offers a range of female students the opportunity to learn to sail. Our first group of girls went sailing yesterday.
Having the opportunity to go sailing was amazing! It made me realise how fun this sport is, but also how important team work is. Being there gave me an opportunity to engage with other girls and make new friendships at Foxwell. I learnt many things that day. I learnt to work as a team even though you couldn’t always be the person in control, how to steer the sailboat and controlling the sail and also how important it is to trust in my peers. It was an amazing opportunity to be involved in and a good few hours to destress and have fun with new friends. Bella H
