Home Strategic Planning Proceedures

Our Health Promotion day was planned and organized around the requirements of the school. We decided on a variety of activities which met the aims and goals in which Stanhope Primary School were working towards. After a lot of deliberation it was decided we would have 6 different activities for the students to participate in, they were bean bags, skipping/movement, step class, hockey, herb garden and orienteering. It was then my job to organise these activities in a way which everyone would get a chance to participate in them equally. With 55 students at the school we decided to break them up into three smaller groups. Originally our idea was to keep them in class groups and alter the activity to suit the age, but due to varying factors eventually it was decided to split the entire school into three groups of mixed age and ability and use a buddy/mentor program. By doing this we gave the older students more responsibility and it ensured everyone would be successful at the activities.

To ensure that students got a chance to complete all 6 activities I set up a round robin timetable with three activities in the morning session and three in the afternoon session. I was able to work the timetable around the student’s regular recess and lunch times and keep all of the lessons around the same length. The morning sessions were 10-20 minutes longer than the afternoon session therefore we ensured the lessons that required the most time were placed in the morning sessions followed by activities requiring less time in the afternoon session.

To ensure our day ran smoothly and students knew exactly where they were going and what activity they were up to each colour group was assigned a morning and afternoon leader who lead them around. This was all included in the timetables that were created; each person was in charge of running their activity three times and being the leader for three activities. To ensure groups stayed on time and target both the team leader and event planner walked around for the day timing and monitoring the groups, giving people warnings as time was up.

A wet weather timetable was also created in case activities were unable to be completed outside, due to the facilities at Stanhope some activities had to be modified and altered but many were able to move undercover or inside and continue being completed.

Overall our planning ensured that our day ran smoothly and meant that everyone knew exactly what was occurring at any point in time. It helped to ensure students were in the correct places and got the most out of the day. I think the planning in which we did made our day very successful.
