Newsletter Sports Update Two new programmes for students Two new programmes are featured below for any Highfields student, not just students already completing Sports Leadership courses. 1. ‘I Can, I Am’ Resilience programme This programme has been created to support you through the current Covid-19 crisis. By working through the ‘I Can, I Am’ Resilience Programme students will be supported to learn and build five key personal skills:
Communication Self-belief Team work Self-management Problem solving
The programme challenges students to build these skills through completing learning, demonstrating skills through activities and reflecting on how they have built these skills. Students should be prepared to make a difference to their community when everyone is settling into the new future post Covid-19. As part of ‘I Can, I Am’ students will be asked to make a pledge of positive actions as a ‘Community Builder’ and carry these out so that they become a part of the solution for the new future.
