East Cornwall School Games
62 students from Years 7-10 went to Liskeard School for the most recent round of Cornwall School Games qualifiers. Our Year 9/10 football team won their event, with the year 7/8 team finishing in second place. Both of our 7/8 and 9/10 aquathlon teams have qualified for the finals in April, following strong performances in the pool and in the field. Well done to all of those who took part - you represented the College brilliantly :)
KS1 multiskills festival - march 2022
On Thursday 17th March we hosted 100 KS1 children from Calstock, Stoke Climsland and Callington Primary schools. The Year 8, 9 and 10 leaders took charge of this event and between them they led 10 exciting and fun-filled activities. All of the children had a thoroughly entertaining day and the leaders excelled with their enthusiasm and organisation. We were lucky enough to be able to send the young children away with a goody bag of equipment to help them keep active, including a skipping rope, a frisbee and a ball. Once again, our Sports Leadership Academy showed just how talented they are and what brilliant and competent leaders they will become. Well done to all involved!
New PE jumper!
Our new optional PE sweatshirt is now available from Kitworld and we have fallen in love with the quality and the fleecy inside! It was selected through student voice and provides a different option for those wanting a layer over their t-shirt. Visit our online shop at https://kitworld.uk/school-shops/
There is also a showerproof jacket available, perfect for those cooler or rainy days!
New PE kit options!
We have listened to student voice and added a number of additional items that can be worn in core PE. The sweatshirt was requested as an alternative to the current 1/2 zip top. There is a new waterproof jacket, and we have also added some alternate leggings and shorts. For those students taking GCSE PE or Sport Science, there are Exam t-shirts available to buy. For those students in the Sports Leadership Academy, there is a special Leaders hoody that they are eligible to purchase. We look forward to seeing the students enjoy these new items of kit and will shortly be displaying some samples for students to look at to help with sizing. Please visit https://kitworld.uk/product-category/school-clubs/callington-community-college/ to see our online shop. Please note, these are all optional, additional items and do NOT replace the current College PE kit.

SPORTS LEADERSHIP ACADEMY RECEIVE FIRST AID TRAINING
On Thursday 19th January, 20 students from the Sports Leadership Academy took part in a First Aid training course. The students were very engaged and asked a lot of good questions. To start off the day Lee (the instructor) started talking to them about the course and what he wanted them to take away; the main outcome was to be confident when spotting or giving first aid. He taught the students what DRABC means and showed them what CPR looks like now. This part was particularly interesting due to the change because of COVID - you no longer have to give mouth-to-mouth, just as many chest compressions as you can until the paramedics arrive or the patient comes back round. Lee then talked about the 3 different types of patients you can have, which are Baby, Child and Adult. This interested the students as some of them didn’t realise you had to change the depth of the chest compressions depending on the size of your patient. Once all of the students had had a go at this, he started telling them about the recovery position, why it is important and how to put their patient in it. By the end of the session, all of the students knew how to give CPR and put someone into the recovery position. What a fantastic training session that we were lucky enough to have received and our students were brilliant throughout!
Year 1 Festival!
On Thursday 18th November students from the Sports Leadership Academy supported the Level 3 Year 12 Sports Leaders with a multiskills festival for Stoke Climsland Primary Year 1's. The L3 students planned and organised a fantastic carousel of activities, and the Year 8-10 Leaders provided lots of enthusiasm and praise. The Year 1 children were a delight to work with and the day was filled with smiles and laughter and lots of fun game play.
