Psychology Team Building

This past Thursday our Academy Junior class took part in some team building exercises. To start off the day we conducted a few experiments to test some theories on learning. Some of the students ended up getting a little wet in the face! Then we did some exercises which gave the students a specific task. To accomplish these tasks the students had to trust each other and rely upon their classmates. This will be extremely helpful for the juniors as they will coordinate several large projects throughout the school year which will require them to trust and depend on each other.

This group did a great job, they were able to do the activity with 8 people!

The students need to rely on their classmates in order to stand up.

Senior Team Building (Ropes Course)

The CHS Academy had an awesome outing this past Thursday. Thirteen seniors took a little trip to Lafayette and were able to navigate the high ropes course. The team building exercises were a lot of fun and everyone who went enjoyed their experience. Hopefully this activity will bring these students together and teach them how to cooperate and be team players. Enjoy the photos.
