LUNCHTIME CLUBS
All senior pupils are trained in how to run a sports club as part of the Argyll and Bute Sports Leaders scheme. They can then choose to plan, organise and run lunchtime clubs every day. This promotes leadership skills and the clubs are enjoyed by all involved. These are some of the clubs that have run this year at lunchtime:
- FOOTBALL SKILLS
- BOUNCE AROUND BALL SKILLS
- BADMINTON
- DANCE
- ICT
- DODGEBALL
- RUGBY
- TABLE TENNIS
- ROUNDERS
