The Public Service Team from Dunstable College held a Challenge Day for all students from Levels 1, 2 and 3 on Monday 9 October. Students participated in a day-long competition featuring pool, table tennis, squash, swimming relays, a bleap test and football tournament. The three teams had to nominate a captain and include both boys and girls. The team was given a full list of activities and had to ensure that each team member participated in at least one event and a maximum of three. It was essential that team members shared the benefits of their knowledge and experience with each other if they wanted to win, as several team members had never participated in some of the events before. Points were scored for each event with the overall winners receiving certificates and a trophy.
The purpose of the day was for the students to bond, develop their leadership and team-building skills and to boost morale.
The eventual winners were the Level 3 National Diplomas, their captain Ross Howse collected the winning trophy to massive applause from the group.
Tutor Haydon Littlewood comments, “A very well fought out battle among all three groups resulted in the final scores being only 5 points difference between 1st and 3rd places. The day proved that team spirit and determination is very much alive and well amongst the Public Service students!”
