Sports Captain is a new leadership role here at school and one that was born out of Year 12 Leadership Camp at the end of last year. The key idea behind this role was to help create a further support network to administer sport at DHS and so raise participation and success of our teams and individuals.
The Sports Captain's role is very different from being a Team Captain and carries a greater role of overseeing multiple teams and liaising with their separate team captains and coaches to get results, photos and other information—mainly for our new Sports website. While there are only 11 Sports Captains—we have many more sports available—it was decided to start smaller and create a Captain for sports with multiple teams and a regular competition.
The recipients of these roles were presented with their Sports Captain badges in assembly a few weeks ago. Please note that Athletics encompasses all forms of running: road race and cross country, while cycling includes mountain biking and, essentially, anything on wheels without a motor.
