Title: Sports Co-ordinator<br />
School: Trinityhouse High Little Falls<br />
Years teaching sport: 15 years<br />
How do you keep motivated and on track<br />
to teach the sporting codes on offer at<br />
school?<br />
My motivation is the need to see young<br />
sportsmen and sportswomen succeed as well<br />
as see how sport can become an extension<br />
of the classroom in more ways than one. It’s<br />
seeing a non-sporty pupil joining a sport and<br />
trying out and making a success of it; the smile<br />
at the end of a match; the teamwork and selfrespect<br />
the pupils gain from sport.<br />
What sports philosophy do you hope to<br />
instil in your pupils? What do you want your<br />
pupils to take away from participating in<br />
sports?<br />
I try and instil a culture of positive participation<br />
as well as one that allows the pupils to know<br />
that winning is a good habit, but one habit<br />
that does not have to be achieved at all costs.<br />
A culture that puts God first as, without Him,<br />
nothing would be possible. Pupils should<br />
make friends and create lifelong memories<br />
through sport.<br />

Title: Sports and Arts Co-ordinator<br />
School: Trinityhouse Preparatory Heritage Hill<br />
Years teaching sport: 8 years<br />
How do you keep motivated and on track<br />
to teach the sporting codes on offer at<br />
school?<br />
Being a new addition to the Trinityhouse<br />
family, I’m very motivated to implement a new<br />
system that will empower the teachers more<br />
so that they stay excited and motivated for<br />
every sporting code at Trinityhouse Heritage<br />
Hill. We’re receiving excellent new facilities<br />
and that in itself will contribute immensely to<br />
building and expanding sport at Trinityhouse<br />
Heritage Hill.<br />
What sports philosophy do you hope to<br />
instil in your pupils? What do you want your<br />
pupils to take away from participating in<br />
sports?<br />
Participation is key! The results will follow<br />
participation. Getting every child and teacher<br />
involved and having a positive mindset and<br />
vibe throughout the entire school will be the<br />
main focus. Respect, discipline and great<br />
sports conduct are what I want for the children<br />
and teachers to take away from sport.<br />
