Hi rappers
Welcome to this years rap
I am the coordinator of the Get Active rap and this is my first
opportunity to send a message to all this years rappers. I am a curriculum
adviser with the NSW Department of Education and my job involves working with
schools to improve road safety education and helping teachers teach road safety
education. You will notice at the end of this rap we explore some safe ways of
travelling to school and being active.
Prior to my work in this job I spent 14 years working at a Sports High School
in Sydney and I
am looking forward to seeing some of my old students participate in the Commonwealth
games. I am really interested to hear about the ways students at your
school keep active and what your class learns about the Commonwealth Games.
Quite a number of classes have sent their introductory messages this
week and they make for interesting reading. It was great to hear from
rappers all over NSW and in Western Australia
and Northern Territory.
Now is a good time to use the Rap maps to note where all the rappers schools
are located. I am looking forward to more welcome messages being posted soon.
The address for sending your class rap points is: getactive06_rap@list.schools.nsw.edu.au.
Next week classes will start working on Rap task 1. In summary
the task looks like this.
Rap task 1
