|

It was a great opportunity for the students to be a part of this special project.
Students enjoyed learning new movements, playing music and singing.
Student participated safely and enthusiastically to a range of physical activities.
Students developed a positive self esteem and displayed a good level of
confidence in their movements and performance
Students were well behaved and attentive in the lessons. They interacted well
with their peers, teachers and instructors by showing respect and cooperation.
It was great to see a student from Canley Vale High School participate in
the program. Our students were friendly and cooperative.
Students extended their interest in Capoeira Angola by participating in special
events outside school hours.
The lessons were culturally enriched. Students interacted with others form
many different nationalities eg. Africa, Vietnam, Macedonia, Serbia, Cambodia, Brazil.
They also learned the cultural aspect of the game.
Excellent demonstrations of the movements and the game for students to see what
is expected from them.
Students made sound progress in their learning. Few students were very
competent and were good role models for others.
It was nice to see students working together in pairs and as a group in a non
contact friendly manner, respecting the space of others.
