Sports
Activities in Al Ain Men’s College
| On Tuesday the 10th of September David Jenns came to our class
(CN1) and gave us a presentation on his role in the HCT. David is
responsible for the physical education in the AAMC. He works also as
the chair of the sports association for all the HCT colleges in the
UAE. David has 2 degrees, a Bachelor in Physical Education and a
Masters degree. He is interested in outdoor activities and he enjoys
taking part in the activities that happen in the college. |
David Jenns talks to CN1 about
his role at the HCT. |
Out
door activities are also a part of David’s job. He offers a number of
sports such as sailing, climbing and kayaking, which is a water sport. To
practice this sport you need a small canoe with oars to paddle. In
addition, trekking is considered one of the out door sports. This sport
needs a high level of fitness and health. Trekking involves walking from
one point to another often hundreds of kilometers.
Students
also can find information about these activities on the college TV
screens, display boards and the web page of the college where there is a
magazine called “Oasis On Line”, however students who don’t know
about some of these activities and are interested in working as part of a
team and using their free time can also learn skills of leadership. If any
students want to join these activities he must ask David Jenns about these
and contact him at student services. |
How did the Question and Answer Session
Work?
|
During
the presentation David asked students some question and students asked him
questions too, all the questions were about the sports offered in the HCT.
Some of questions David asked were:
 | How
did you get involved in sport? |
| What
did you get out of the adventure activities? |
| Did
you learn anything about yourself were involved in the activities? |
|
|
So
he got many different answers from students and after that students asked
some questions such as:
| Why
college doesn’t open all sport activity on the weekend? |
| Why
doesn’t college make sport day once a month? |
| Why
doesn’t the college build a swimming pool on campus? |
| How
students will know about sport offered in the college? |
as
students asked the questions David made notes of students suggestions and
told the group that he would follow up these suggestions with college
management.
