Community Coaching Course During Term 3 the Stage 2 Sport and Recreation class completed a Community Coaching General Principles course from Aus Sport. We used the knowledge and skills learned from this to design coaching sessions in Volleyball. The aim of the task was to teach our peers Volleyball skills, while also improving our own skills. This task gave the opportunity for students to both learn coaching skills but also use these coaching skills to benefit their learning of the sport, through self-evaluation, peer assessment and observation. In small groups the students ran several 20-minute coaching sessions where they came up with training activities and drills. During drills students would give advice to their peers and would use verbal cues, to help visualise the specific skills being taught. These activities in the Integrated Learning course allowed students to develop their SACE capabilities like critical and creative thinking: skills which can not only assist in sports but can also impact jobs and further education down the line.

For many students, the last two years of their education; (Stage One and
Two,) have had to share their experience of this common rite of passage,
with the demands and limitations of the Covid-19 Pandemic. To these
students know this; You achieved everything your forebears achieved;
academically you were thrust into the same demands of assignments
Foodbank program
From 2018 to 2021 Marden has signed up to the Foodbank school
breakfast program. This is a free service for any school in Australia
providing breakfast foods including cereal, milk, toast, porridge, fruit,
tea and coffee.
The program is offered on Monday mornings from the start of school
through to the end of recess. This proved very popular throughout the
year especially the assorted fruit being left in the cafeteria.
The successful program will be running again in 2022 alongside a new
program which provides Young Women’s Packs which provides personal
care items to young South Australian women in need who do not have
the capacity to purchase their own.
