Congratulations to: Willow Tree, Sutton Manor, Brook Lodge, Carr Mill and The District primary schools on completing the ten week course. <br /><br />All the pupils have been fantastic throughout the ten weeks and have been a credit to both their school and themselves. During their time at the Centre, they have worked hard on their Literacy and ICT skills whilst exploring the world of professional sport with St.Helens RL. They have had the opportunity to work in teams, meet first team players, produced articles and press releases to advertise clashes between Saints and their rival teams, as well as produced sensational video adverts to promote the move to the new stadium at the end of the season. All pupils have worked with great enthusiasm and it has been great to see them grow in confidence each week.<br /><br />We would love to hear your thoughts on your time at Playing for Success.

Throughout the camp  the girls had to work on  key skills of communication, co-ordination and  teamwork coupled with  hours of physical activity to learn the dance  routine.                     Partnership projects  like this prove what can be achieved in our community when resources are  couples with dedicated quality coaching and the Saints "Can do"  attitude to prove the adage "Together Everyone Achieves More".</div><div ><iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="margin: 10px 0 10px 0; width: 100%; height: 282px;" src="http://beta.weebly.com/weebly/apps/generateVideo.php?source=weebly&elementid=397805823829689&ineditor=0&align=left&height=282&video=2/4/2/5/2425266/she_crusaders_498.flv&image=2/4/2/5/2425266/she_crusaders.jpg"></iframe></div>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
