Kharn Lambert
Chair, NESSIC Sports Committee
Cogdel Cranleigh High School
BA (Hons) Education Studies and Physical Education - Liverpool John Moores University
PGCE with QTS
With over 10 years of teaching experience and 3 years as Head of Department in Physical Education and Sport in China, I have worked with a number of schools within Wuhan helping establish and develop Physical Education departments and introduce bespoke curriculum's that fit the specific needs of the school. Within those 10 years I have been extremely lucky to work with some outstanding students who have gone on to achieve amazing results within their chosen sports, most recently teaching a student who became National Fencing Champion and is now studying in Singapore on a Sports Scholarship.
As an educator within the physical education and sport world I am a firm believer that developing the student as a whole is vital to their success both inside and outside of the classroom, and I strongly believe that sport has a major role to play in that development. Through innovation and having an open mind we have the unique opportunity to shape our students’ values, this is why I am proud to be NESSIC Sports Leader.

Competitions
Competitive activities tend to bring out the best of the best and accelerate the growth of others who take part. While the thrill of participation and competition with an aim toward winning is the ultimate outcome desired by all involved, there are in the end few who obtain the top prizes. Therefore, the NESSIC emphasis will be on learning and the joy of participation in such forms of extension so that everyone gains from sharing. Here too, a team of top talents from NESSIC participating schools will determine the kinds of events, frequency, location, timing, hosting guidelines and costs per student. For live events, the aim is to provide growth, development, live social interaction and challenge that is low cost and cost effective per student. In our first year, we will begin with these shown and develop more based on the interest shown in a survey of participating schools.

Student Activities offer an exciting and important means developing talent through extension. They are meant to build on the learning in their school and apply that learning in a broader forum of presentation, interaction, and engagement. Although some events may be competitive, the emphasis is not on winning, it is on participating, learning, improving and enjoying the process. Here, too, a team of experts in organizing student activities will create Activities Guidelines and begin work initially on the events shown below in this start-up year, with more to come as participation increases. Some can be done online for optimal involvement and others will be live one-day or weekend events.
