Nowra High School ‐ It’s News To Me
Students were lucky enough to experience ‘A Day at Sea’, when the RAN visited Nowra High. 5 PT and team building sessions, similar to those experienced in the ADF, were run throughout the day, with the philosophy of ‘Engage the brain before you engage the body’. Emphasis was placed on the importance of
team work, listening to instruction, and planning, to achieve optimum results. The recurring theme being ‘learning only happens when you participate!’ Many thanks to LS Jan Gilmour and PO Olivia Usbeck for running the sessions. The feedback from the students and staff has been extremely positive. We look forward to the RAN returning to the school again next year, to give more of our students the opportunity to experience ‘A Day at Sea!’
