Arriving

When we arrive at The Huddle, I will listen to my teacher. If we travelled by bus, I

will get off the bus and wait in a safe spot on the footpath.

If we came by public transport I will walk with my group and listen to my teacher.

I will stay away from the road.

When I arrive, it might be noisy. I will be able to hear traffic from the road. I will

listen to the instructions from my teacher.

Entry

Our coach from The Huddle will meet us when we arrive. We will go inside the

glass doors and wait in front of the trophies. I will listen while our coach gives us

some instructions.

Toilets

If I need to go to the toilet, I will ask my teacher first. The toilets are used by

people who come to use the basketball courts and gym, so there might be some

people I don’t know inside. I will make sure I take someone with me if I need to go

to the toilet.

Inside The Huddle

Our coach will take us to the doors of The Huddle. I will listen to our coach before

I go inside. The screens inside The Huddle will be bright and might be noisy. I can

take deep breaths and remember that my teacher is there to help. I can ask my

coach for some earmuffs to wear that will help quiet the noise.

Classroom

When we are inside the classroom, we will put our school bags and hats away on

the blue shelves and then we will sit down in a green chair at the front of the

room.

Our coach will explain the activity we are doing. We will be put into small groups

to work together. We will complete the first activity. It will be noisy, and we will

be moving around the room. If I need help or have a question, I can ask my

teacher, who will be there to support me.

After the first activity, we will pack up and we might help to set up some tables

and chairs. Then we will have our recess break. I will stay in the classroom to eat

my recess. My teacher will tell me where to sit. There are bins in the classroom

for me to put away any rubbish. I will put my lunchbox back in my bag when the

teacher tells us it’s time.

Simulation Stadium

After recess, we will go into a different room called the Simulation Stadium. It will

be dark when we go in. I will sit with my group on a stool and listen to our coach.

There are big TV screens on the wall, and they will light up suddenly. Other

students may feel excited and talk about what they see. It will be noisy. My coach

has earmuffs I can use if it is too noisy.

We will listen to the coach explain the activities we are going to complete. I will

complete the activities with my group. It might be noisy while we complete the

activities. If it is too noisy for me, I will let an adult know. We will stay in the

Simulation Stadium for three activities, with breaks in between. I will listen to the

coach who will help me if I don’t know what to do.

Break times

We will have 2 breaks – a recess break and a lunch break. Our recess break will be

in the classroom. Our lunch break will be either outside on the futsal court if it is

sunny, or inside on the basketball court or in the classroom if it is raining. My

teacher will tell me where I can play.

Leaving

After we have finished, I will listen to my teacher. I will collect my things from the

blue shelves and line up. I will walk out of The Huddle with my teacher and my

classmates. On the trip home, I will listen to my teacher, so we get back to school

safely.

The Huddle coaches

Hi, I’m Amy. I am one of the Game Day coaches. You might see me when you come to The Huddle. You will do AFL themed activities and learn how to work as a team. I love footy and teaching students about science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

world!
