Programmes and Activities
Active From the Start
Schools in the Aboyne network will soon be introducing this programme to their Nursery classes. This will involve the children working on core competencies during the school day and they will then also receive a ‘Skill Bag’ to take home and perform the activities with their parents. Training workshops will be set-up to work with parents.
First clubgolf
All P5 pupils will be introduced to Scottish Golf’s National Strategy for golf, clubgolf. They will complete a block of lessons involving modified golf equipment then invited to attend a local golf club to undertake the next stage of the programme.
Extra-curricular Schools Clubs
I am currently working with local clubs, coaches, volunteers and school staff to set up a variety of extra-curricular school activities for children across Aboyne to take part in. Watch this space!
Go For It
Aboyne Primary will be taking part in this year-round incentive project to encourage school communities to travel actively (walking or cycling) to school, even just part of the way, wherever possible. Every time a pupil walks / cycles to or from school they will get a tick on the wall chart. When the pupil has 40 ticks, they will earn a reward card that they can redeem for free access to certain leisure facilities across Aberdeenshire.
Young Leaders
In term 4 of 2007/08 Primary 6 children from various schools successfully completed a 6-week course to become ‘Young Leaders’. The skills they were taught in the course will now be developed further as they deliver activities during the school year, to younger children within their schools. The next stage of training for Primary 6 pupils will take place again in term 4 of 2008/09.

Volunteer Opportunities
The Aboyne Active Schools programme is always on the lookout for new volunteers to help within the schools. The success of the programme can only continue to be developed with the help of willing and enthusiastic parents. This may be help in current activities or perhaps you would like to set up a new activity. If you are interested in helping out please do not hesitate to contact me.
