The Year 7 Challenge Week activity is for students in Year 7 in November. Year 7 Challenge Week is all about getting to know new people, learning new skills and making a contribution - while having lots of fun!
Each day will start and finish at normal school times at KGV school.
Year 7 Challenge Week will be a varied week of activities outside the classroom aiming to build a variety of skills and provide students with opportunities to get to know each other and work with staff in a different setting.
From Monday to Thursday, students will rotate through different activities:
Taskoneer Challenge Day in Tai Hang Tun
Trio beach hike in Sai Kung
Sham Shui Po challenge
Dragon Boating in Sai Kung
On Friday, all students will join together to round off the competitions for the week, spend some time reflecting on what we have learned and see some of the other KGV activities.
We will work on building competencies in Character, Citizenship, Communication, Collaboration, Creativity and Critical Thinking, while modelling our school values of Honesty, Courage and Empathy. Students will be asked to reflect in their MYP journals.
Creativity
Students will use their creative and performance talents as part of their preparations for the House Chant as well.
Activity
Students will be involved in physical activity each day.
Service
All students will have a turn at serving their Year 7 community through helping with setting up and clearing away after each activity as well as participating in a trail/ beach clean.
Requirements: The ethos of the week is inclusive and open to all. Where activities need to be modified to suit the needs of a particular student this will take place.
