After School Clubs
Coaches hope to take Running Club pupils down to the Nature Walk for upcoming sessions. Could you please ensure that pupils have shoes that they don’t mind getting muddy.
Sarah Ross, Active Schools Coordinator, has arranged training for anyone wishing to become a Bikeability Scotland Instructor, on Saturday the 4th of March at Portree High School from 9am- 5.45pm, with Cycling Scotland. The training will allow participants to run both level 1 and 2 within the school setting. To become a BSI you should be a competent rider and must be a minimum of 16 years old or 18 where working independently. I would be willing to support any volunteers following the training if required.
