Play Leaders supported by St Luke's Parent Council

2023-09-16 No comments CNess Kilwinning

The Play Leaders, supported by the Parent Council, are requesting £1000 to purchase play and sporting equipment so they can provide a variety of free and accessible extracurricular opportunities during and after school.  As a Rights Respecting Gold School, we consistently advocate pupil voice and participation in the planning and delivery of events, improvements and decision making.  The Play Leaders consulted over 200 children who advised health and wellbeing, well-resourced clubs and improvements to the playground are a top priority.  Therefore they wish to purchase equipment which will enable them to deliver a diverse programme of play and sporting activities and encourage wider pupil participation.  In addition to physical skills, participating children will develop skills in communication, determination, resilience and motivation.  The Play Leaders also recognise the significance of leading a healthy and active lifestyle and aim to inspire other children to do so by encouraging them to take part in fun, physical, well-resourced and organised games and activities in a safe and nurturing environment throughout the day.

The link between exercise and mental health is complicated. Inactivity can be both a cause and a consequence of mental illness, for example. But there are lots of ways that exercise can benefit your mental health, such as: <ul> <li> The levels of chemicals in the brain, such as serotonin, stress hormones and endorphins, change when you exercise.  </li> <li> Regular exercise can help you sleep better. And <a data-print-url="http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/Mood-and-sleep" href="https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/Mood-and-sleep">good sleep helps you manage your mood</a>. </li> <li> Exercise can improve your sense of control, coping ability and self-esteem. People who exercise regularly often report how good achieving a goal makes them feel.  </li> <li> Exercise can distract you from negative thoughts and provide opportunities to try new experiences. </li> <li> It offers an opportunity to socialise and get social support if you exercise with others.  </li> <li> Exercise increases your energy levels.  </li> <li> Physical activity can be an outlet for your frustrations.  </li> <li> Exercise can reduce skeletal muscle tension, which helps you feel more relaxed.  North Ayrshire ice hockey club creates a safe environment to children/ young adults to support the training needs, proving them with coaches to support ongoing training needs and a facility to do this safely. </li> </ul>

Irvine Meadow 2009

2023-09-11 No comments Irvine Meadow2009 Irvine

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.
