paces on Friday at a special training session designed to teach them the joys —
and pains — of organising young children.
As part of the VET subject Sport

running afternoon sporting activities for primary school children to enjoy.
On Friday, students received instruction from professional coaches to teach

for the course, with about 30 students from the college taking part.
