Mindfulness – Wellbeing Lunch Club
No comments Irvine
Aim
As 4 senior Art and Design pupils, we would like to create and develop a mindfulness art lunch club. We would like to offer this to junior pupils and help create a zen-like lunch group where pupils get to express themselves creatively, as a welcomed break to their busy day. To help them Zen out, we would like to offer a club where pupils can bring their lunch and possibly use art and Design materials to creatively engage in mindful activities, such as ; drawing , painting , character design, fashion design, photography, printmaking and model making.

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.

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.
Extended Pathway and disabled ramp access
No comments Irvine
With the success of our school's program and Easter and Sumner camps we now have more kids and families using our facilities. To improve the area and make it easier for disabled and small kids in prams we are looking to extend a pathway into the main car park area and make ramp access into our dressing rooms and toilet area.
Young Ambassadors Programme
No comments 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:
- 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
- to influence six key aspects of school sport:
- extra-curricular sport provision
- links to community sport opportunities
- opportunities for extra- curricular competition
- celebration of young people achievements in sport
- leadership opportunities for young people
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.
