The strategy "Supporting Mabine Primary School Learners" is designed to enrich the learners' educational experience over six months by engaging them in sports, drama, and academic activities. The strategy encompasses organising weekly sports, where exercises such as soccer and netball practices are conducted, allowing students to improve their physical abilities incrementally. For instance, mini-tournaments can introduce a competitive but nurturing environment, encouraging frequent participation.
In terms of drama and acting, the strategy involves scheduled workshops aimed at fostering creativity. Local theatre professionals might be brought in, offering authentic insights and elevating students' performances. Engaging scripts and plays tailored for learners are used to deepen their interest in acting.
To bolster literacy and academic achievements, regular reading sessions, homework help, and spelling bees are organised. This approach not only supports literacy but also creates a collaborative learning space. For example, spelling competitions encourage healthy academic competition, while reading clubs ensure continuous engagement in literature and storytelling.
