Pre-season Touch Rugby G12 2019 + Brisbane

Every year the seniors of the team graduate, with losing members of the team, we had new members who joined. I developed new skills in collaboration. We had to work together to achieve an outcome. I collaborated with previous teammates, as well as new teammates. At first, it was difficult, as we were not familiar with each others playing style and we did not have flow, as we played more together and bonded as a family we gained flow. This was especially true in a few of our games in Brisbane. The Brisbane Touch trip (we played in All school touch championships) really allowed us to bond as a family and get to know each other, making us gain flow. In Touch it is a team-based sport, we need to work hard for each other in order to win, therefore collaboration is extremely important. 

 

 

Circle Enterprise

I worked with students from various grades, ranging from grade 9 to grade 11, along with a few middle schoolers who would sometimes join us. It was easy working together, as we were in smaller groups working on our bikes in groups. The main challenges were that none of us in the service had really deconstructed a bike, and rebuild it. We overcame this challenge by working together and helping each other out.
