Active schools at Giffnock Primary 2019<\/p>\n
The after school club programme at Giffnock Primary has grown over the years and throughout a school year provides many opportunities for pupils to take part in a variety of after school activities in sport and physical activity. We have fantastic support from the teachers, local sports clubs, parents and our community coaches from ERCL.<\/p>\n
A few facts \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..<\/p>\n
This year there have been over 30 extra-curricular physical activity clubs on offer for pupils both in the school and at local clubs for all pupils.<\/p>\n
So far around 135 pupils have attended a sport\/physical activity club this school year \u2013 which is absolutely fantastic.\u00a0 I will be in school chatting to pupils in August to get some ideas of what clubs they would like in the school next school year, in a hope to increase this number further.\u00a0\u00a0 We are always looking for parent helpers so if you have a sport or would like to assist at a club get in touch as soon as possible for next August!<\/p>\n
With the holidays fast approaching, the activity doesn\u2019t need to stop there.\u00a0 The ERCL holiday programme runs for 5 weeks of the summer holidays.\u00a0 There are all day catered sports camps from 10am \u2013 3pm at Barrhead and Eastwood High Schools and a number of half day sessions throughout East Renfrewshire.\u00a0 \u00a0Free and concessionary places are available on the week long sports camps. To qualify for a free\/concessionary place, children must\u00a0attend an East Renfrewshire school and their household must be in receipt of Council Tax Benefit and\u00a0\/ or Housing Benefit.
