Ambassadors introduces leadership concepts with a specific focus on leading self. The programme is designed to develop young sports leaders and help them recognise that in order to positively influence and lead others they must first learn to lead themselves. This implies leadership in both sport and within the school community. Ambassadors programme includes an outdoor experience completing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing.
Additional workshops build on the development of teamwork skills, Self Discovery, Ripple Effect and the Power of Words.
The programme helped me learn about my goals and to never give up. It has made me think differently about myself in a good way. This course has helped me in both mental and physical ways. It has taught me to strive for success. It has also helped me improve my interpersonal skills. Ambassadors young person
Our students LOVE attending their Ignite Sport days. They learn skills like teamwork and resilience and we see them develop these skills and make changes to themselves and the school community. The value of Ignite Sport programmes is hard to quantify, but it works. Our students and Taita College as a whole really appreciate the opportunity to be a part of these programmes and we truly believe that they support our students to become good citizens.
