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>

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.

Garnock Valley Sports Leaders

2023-09-14 No comments Mirren Gilbert Garnock Valley

Garnock Valley Sports Leaders are a group of pupils who train in upskilling ourselves to go out into local primaries and secondary to provide sporting opportunities in the local area. As a group we want to be able to provide young people in our community with quality equal opportunities to take part in sport. We believe that this can promote healthy mental and physical wellbeing among these young people. Through leading these extra curriculum clubs, it helps boost young people’s overall physically activity to help meet the government’s guidance of 60 minutes a day. It teaches the young people the benefits of physical activity as well as how it can improve mental wellbeing. We also hope that in providing new sporting opportunies for young peole that they may be able to find one the enjoy or love. Through this we will be able to sign post to local clubs in the area to help add to a sense of community and spirit.

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.
