eSports
In this activity, students will engage in weekly training sessions to develop their communication skills and the ability to work together as a team. Each session will include playing console games (e.g. Mario Kart, Fifa, Rocket League) to develop techniques and skills to succeed in competitions.
Throughout the term, students will be introduced to more complex games, develop a greater awareness of their skills and strengths and receive targeted training for games.
Students who take part in this CCA will also have the opportunity to represent the school in national and international competitions.
CAS Strand: Activity
As a team sport, this CCA is linked to the Activity Strand. Students will engage in training sessions and console games each week.
Students will be challenged, provided with explicit coaching to improve, and hopefully be able to see the benefits during competitive games.
Lasallian Principles: Respect for All Persons and Quality Education
In playing console games and competitions between other schools, members of this eSports CCA will exhibit respect for themselves, their teammates, and the opposition. ‘Good sportsmanship’ will underpin this CCA by fostering good habits and positive life skills.
Engagement in this CCA also supports the Lasallian principle of quality education. Playing sports like eSports brings balance to students’ lives and is fundamental to SJII’s holistic approach to education. This CCA will encourage students to discover and nurture their strengths and interests, cultivate values throughout the experience, and hopefully allow them realise their potential.
