Barnardo's Christmas Outing

2023-09-11 No comments Fiona Irvine

Barnardo's works with young people across North Ayrshire in a variety of services. We would like to take the young people to a Pantomime this Christmas as their Christmas activity. We did this last year with non-recurring funding so this year we are looking for support as the young people that attended last year had such a good time, they got out the house, socialised and made new friends, and had a laugh. We will take the young people for dinner before the Panto and make them up a snack bag for the show. This activity will help young people with their mential health and wellbeing and social isolation. Dates for this years Pantomime are from 1st December to 7th January.

To support the children's mental health and well-being we are looking to purchase outdoor equipment to encourage outdoor play. This will have a positive impact physically and mentally for the children and will allow a more fun approach to learning. We would also like to put £150 towards to cost of free school discos for all the children to attend and enjoy.

The Showtime Youth Theatre is open to young people with all abilities and from all backgrounds from 3-18 years old in Ayrshire. The classes and productions assist the young people to develop core life skills, social skills, better agility, making exercise fun as well as building trust, confidence, self motivation, self esteem and communication skills – a variety of physical and non physical wellbeing benefits.

5th Dreghorn Brownies and Guides

2023-09-09 No comments Vickie Irvine

5th Dreghorn Brownies and Guides Group We as a unit meet every Thursday night in the community centre in Dreghorn. We try to have as much fun as we can while the girls learn life skills and gain badges. Between the Brownies and the Guides we have 48 girls as well as 6 leaders. We would like to take the whole group on a team building day to Craufurdland Castle in Kilmarnock to carry out a team building day. Activities would range from Archery to tree top trials. With this funding it would ensure that all our girls could attend the day out regardless of social circumstances. Being together as a whole group is important to us and this is our chance to do that.

Young Ambassadors Programme

2023-09-12 No comments Hollie Allardyce Irvine

At the heart of the Young Ambassador programme is our principle that our views, and those of other young people are heard, valued and influence decision making; and that they are engaged in driving sporting change in our school and in the community. In this context our Young Ambassador role has two key bits: <ul> <li style="margin-bottom:11px">to promote sport, and motivate and inspire other young people to get involved in sport in a wide range of settings within their local communities, including schools, clubs and community organisations</li> <li style="margin-bottom:11px">to influence six key aspects of school sport:  <ul style="list-style-type:circle"> <li style="margin-bottom:11px">extra-curricular sport provision</li> <li style="margin-bottom:11px">links to community sport opportunities</li> <li style="margin-bottom:11px">opportunities for extra- curricular competition </li> <li style="margin-bottom:11px">celebration of young people achievements in sport</li> <li style="margin-bottom:11px">leadership opportunities for young people</li> </ul> </li> </ul> As role models and leaders for other young people, Young Ambassadors can have a pivotal role within their school and wider community. We have a Young Ambassador comittee in each school and it is pupil lead and supported by school staff and Active Schools Staff.

Dreghorn Primary Parent Council Funding Inclusive Whole School Trip

2023-09-11 No comments DreghornPrimaryPC Irvine

Dreghorn Primary Parent Council(PC) would like to provide a trip for the whole school, this would be the first trip for years.  Pupils and Parents have expressed their desire for a whole school trip but have alluded to the challenge posed by the current cost of living crisis.  Not having a whole school trip is adversely effecting children of all ages and we want to ensure that finance is not a barrier. The PC are applying for funding to cover the cost for every child. We all have great memories of trips, we would like that for this generation. Outdoor learning is so important to make connections between school and the real world – bringing topics alive. The extensive benefits for health and wellbeing are also well documented. One pupil said " I enjoy trips, they are very educational because you are in a new place, learning new things that you would never be able to see in school. Another pupil told us " You get out all day to see things and its fun. I like a trip because you get to be with all your friends from the other classes and it can be good learning.

Our football team plays a crucial role in promoting health, wellbeing and social inclusion.  It’s a critical age for children to begin experimenting with alcohol and smoking but having a focus with our team helps to support the boys make positive decisions. We have a range of families in our team, some from deprived areas and a family from Ukraine. Being a part of our team has helped reduce social barriers for these boys and ensure they have a sense of belonging whilst also supporting one of the boys learn to speak English.  They are also learning to work positively as part of a team and respect which they take into their daily lives at school and at home with their families.  We promote healthy choices as a team and as a result of this many of the boys have joined the gym and attend regularly to keep improving their fitness levels and socialise with one another. Our dedicated coaches volunteer a large amount of time to the team for training, matches and all the organising that goes on in the background.
