S1s Watch Scottish Thistles

What a great first game of netball the S1s got to watch at the Emirates last week. A party of 12 went to see Scotland Thistles vs Barbados st the Emirates Arena. Scotland were on fire from the first centre pass and they went on to win convincingly. All the girls enjoyed watching the game and we hoped they learnt some new moves to take to the court for their next game.

We would like as many people as possible to get involved - staff, pupils, parents. Please encourage your friends and family to sign up, get out training and fundraise over the next 6 weeks. Pace does not matter; you can go as fast or as slow as you like, it is up to you how you complete the distance.

All four of these charities are close to our hearts and we feel they play a crucial role in helping provide support for people in times of need. The total raised will be split equally between the four charities. I have attached a sponsorship form for you to record your donations. I have looked into options to donate electronically however the only feasible way to do this is with cash.

Personal Development Programme 2

Here is the next lot of training for you which will last you until we get back to school. Follow the programme that suits your fitness best. If you do find something too challenging at any time then do the easier programme option. Alternatively, if you find something too easy then do the more challenging option. Base what you do on how you feel on the day. As ever if you have any questions please get in touch. Let me know how you’re getting on. It’s been great to hear that so many of you are keeping active during lockdown. Keep up the good work!

Personal Development Programme

Happy New Year to all our pupils and staff at SGG!

We’re sad not to be in school as normal but we will be back to normality soon.

To keep you going over the next few weeks I have set out 3 personal development programme options for you to follow. Select programme A, B or C depending on your current fitness level. If you follow this programme you will develop your fitness in preparation for coming back to school PE, extra curricular club sport and any practical performances you may have if you’re doing SQA PE. This has been sent to you on Show My Homework too. 

If you have any questions about this then get in contact via glow. 

Good luck!
