SKY SPORTS LIVING FOR SPORTThe project encourages junior pupils to participate in a range of activities at Meadowbank Sports Arena. An average of 100 pupils from Year 8 attended the 3 sessions which were facilitated by PE and other staff. Sky Sports provided tee shirts for the participants and athlete mentor visits for the school. This year we had an athlete mentor visit from Michael McKillop (Double Gold medal winning Paralympic Athlete). Michael, fresh from a pre Rio Olympic training camp, inspired and motivated our pupils with his own individual stories of his journey to the top of his chosen sport. SKY SPORTS LIVING FOR SPORT - AMBASSADOR SCHOOLS (REGIONAL HUBS OF EXCELLENCE)At the Youth Sport Trust we are continually working to further broaden the reach of Sky Sports Living for Sport (SSLFS) and the role the programme can play in supporting school improvement priorities. As part of this strategy, the YST invited St. Mary’s to become a SSLFS Ambassador School. These schools will be Regional Hubs of Excellence that have a strong track record in delivering SSLFS. They are spread across 12 UK Regions and their main role is to support the development and expansion of the programme. St. Mary’s will play a lead role in advocating the benefits of the programme to other schools highlighting the impact the programme can have on young people. This role will continue in the 2016-17 academic year. SponsorshipPast pupil and former player, Mark O’Connor from Saturnled, generously sponsored the MacRory Cup again this year.
