A British Army team has visited students in Years 9,10 and 12 at Royal Harbour Academy in Ramsgate to deliver a three hour interactive Leadership Challenge Programme. The event offered an unparalleled opportunity to engage in teamwork and communication activities while honing their problem-solving skills in an enjoyable and interactive setting.
Arranged by Headquarters South East in Aldershot and delivered by a team of serving personnel from the British Army’s high readiness Brigade, the team undertook a range of activities with students which included a short brief about the British Army and careers followed by a chance to try out some physical battlefield challenges then some team and challenge activities to both enhance confidence and develop skills and team work.
All the students had a great time meeting with the Army personnel. The new confidence and mental and physical resilience skills they gained from the day will undoubtedly benefit them in the future.
Student comments included: “It was very fun. The men are strict, hard work. They made me get motivated! I really enjoyed it”, “It pushed me to my physical limits” and “It was very physical, people that don’t enjoy things like this had a big shock. This was good to test yourself and even give you another idea for a job.”
