You need enthusiasm and an interest in being physically active
This is an area that AHS feels passionate about, as we prepare you for a healthy active lifestyle beyond school. Your participation in physical activity is part of our long-standing goal to get students more active, more often. We want to ensure that all students are encouraged to be active enough to be healthy and happy.
The main aim is to get students active in a fun way and provide an opportunity for students to improve their teamwork and communication skills, and also simply allow people to get to know one another, particularly new students.
Some students are unable to do sports outside of school for various reasons, this weekly slot provides a regular opportunity for many; particularly for those less confident in sports, or even those who lack confidence to join an outside activity.
