NetballActive Schools (Central) have organised a series of mini netball festivals for the new year. All school and community teams from the central area are welcome to attend. The festival focus is participation and fun and thus no scores will be recorded with the exception of the Alford festival in June which will be a scored event. For more information see the flyer below. |
Programmes and Activities
Active From The Start
An exciting new project for nursery aged children! Each School will introduce this programme to their nursery classes and will involve the children working on core competencies during the school day and then receiving a ‘Skill Bag’ to take home and perform the activities with their parents.
Young Leaders
The Young Leader Award is a programme of leadership training for young people between the ages of 9-13 that supports them working with younger children, teaching leadership skills through a whole range of games and activities. In term 2 this programme will be rolled out in Forgue and Insch primary schools with more schools to follow later in the year.
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 be invited to attend a local golf club to undertake the next stage of the programme. This follows on from last years successful clubgolf programme which saw 25 pupils across the network continuing on to Huntly Golf Club for further coaching!
Go For It
Insch Primary School 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.

Volunteer Opportunities
I am always on the look out for volunteers so if you think you can spare some time and would like to help out then please get in touch. Your level of involvement and commitment is entirely up to you and can range from accompanying schools to events to helping out at an after school club or even running one!
As a network we rely heavily on a strong pool of volunteers to not only get projects up and running but perhaps more importantly to keep them up and running at a minimal cost to children. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
