Why is it Different this Year?
· Funding from PCAP requires programs to be ‘innovated’ after a certain number of years of being run at schools.
· Our innovation was to ‘spotlight’ hockey and its pathway to representative positions (Hockey Squad), but keep basketball at night, because the children love it!
· The Rec Club has been developed into a hockey center and has wonderful facilities for our children to use.
Vacation Care and Active After School’s focus this term is hockey
