Although this is a week where many students outperform their expectations and return home with a top grade, all students must be prepared to work hard for their mark, often with many hours of both physical and mental application required in a day. Students will be able to see their progress throughout the week and compare their performance to the assessment criteria for their sport allowing them to take ownership of their learning and set targets for improvement.
