NETBALL RESILIENCE GROUP
The netball resilience sessions aim to raise self-esteem of girls especially within PE and are delivered by professional netball player, Kelly Slater, from Strathclyde Sirens. The sessions are running every Thursday for four weeks and will culminate in a region-wide tournament when we will compete against other participating schools.
POWER OF YET WORKSHOPS
The school recently ran a series of ‘Power of Yet’ workshops delivered by ‘Live n Learn’ to our S2 pupils. ‘Live n Learn’ are a team of specialist presenters who focus on the development of young minds through a mantra of contrast improvement. The ‘Power of Yet’ sessions are very valuable as they raise aspirations, help pupils embrace struggle, teach them to cope with setbacks and give them the impetus to believe in themselves.
