Sports Council:

Our Sports Council is currently made up of 29 S2-6 pupils who are enthusiastic and passionate about promoting and participating in sport and physical activity. In order to be a member of the Sports Council each pupil had to submit an application form and attend an interview. This year we had over 50 applications. Once successful the pupils’ sign a contract in which they agree to participating and leading clubs in school. Throughout the year the Sports Council help organise and volunteer at sporting events in the school and in the community. Events include: primary athletics, primary sports days, tennis competitions and netball festivals to name but a few.
