JUNGLE TEAMBUILDING- SCHOOLS

Building on our success with younger children, we’ve recently developed a new program, Jungle Teambuilding, which is aimed at equipping young adults, year 10 and above with the skills they need to succeed in the workplace and beyond.  This program is designed to bridge the gap between school, further education, apprenticeships and careers by teaching pupils fundamental skills such as communication skills, organisational skills, teamwork, problem solving and thinking outside the square.

Since starting the program, Jungle Sports has worked with over 25 schools in WA delivering unique and customised employability sessions.   Every class is different and is tailored to each schools’ individual objectives.

What can Jungle Sports bring to your school?

Ø  A one off session or a series of sessions;

Ø  Sessions customised to your school and pupils;

Ø  Individual program tailored to any sized group, age and ability;

Ø  Sessions can vary in length from one hour up to three hours;

Ø  Affordable and fun alternative to your school’s careers program;

Ø  Employability Skills sessions can be held on school grounds or at a neutral indoor sports halls.  We come to you and bring the fun and learning to wherever is convenient. 
     

What do the pupils do in the Teambuilding and Employability Skills sessions?

Ø  A variety of team work, communication, co-operation and problem solving games which result in the pupils showing initiative with a number of different thought processes;

Ø  The sessions are lively, thought provoking, engaging and are suitable for all ability levels.

Ø  Each session finishes with pupils analysing what they have learnt and how these skills can be linked to further education and the working environment.  

High School Mentor Program:

This program is designed for the pupils to gain communication and leadership skills and to put them into practice as a mentor to younger children.

• 4 weeks (1 hour sessions) of in school training to build confidence
• 1 week at a local Primary School conducting short sports sessions (that they have helped to create) to the younger pupils.

“We have utilised Jungle Sports for events which target disadvantaged target groups, such as Indigenous students, students at risk of disengagement and culturally and linguistically diverse students.  Many of these students are at risk of disengaging from school and do not usually respond to authority figures, however the majority of these students have reacted positively to Jungle Sports and have enjoyed participating in Jungle Sports activities.”  Canning Coalition

“The Jungle Sports staffs’ effective communication skills, outgoing personalities and the ability to relate to young people has made each Jungle Sports session an exciting and engaging opportunity for young people to develop their skills.  As each session is followed by a debrief, students are able to apply the skills to other aspects of their lives, such as education and employment.” Linley Stewart, Thornlie Senior High School
