Building Relationships – with Sports

A number of months ago, the staff at RFIS asked if we could have a time of staff football (soccer) each week.  It seemed like a good way for our teaching and non-teaching staff to share an activity since often the schedules do not mesh together very well.  Staff soccer has been fun and quite a few people play at least occasionally.  The ages and  skill levels vary but the fun seems to be universal.

Recently the staff decided to play against another school on our Youth Day holiday.  Lots of fun and participation, so this week the deaf school which we have been building a relationship with came to play.  It was a fun afternoon and the opportunity to strengthen this relationship was met.

Soccer has not only strengthened relationships on our own staff but has built them with other schools.
