The Saints Study Centre recently held its Celebration Evening for all the young learners who have taken part in the Playing for Success programme during this term. In addition to these children, our daytime users were invited to the event.
Young learners from the following schools attended:
Northampton Academy
Earl Spencer
Eat Hunsbury
Ecton Brook
The Abbey
Thorplands
Standens Barn
Thomas Becket
Delapre
The young learners were presented with a goody bag from the Saints Community Dept and a certificate of achievement by Saints players, Karl Rudski, Damien Browne, Mark Hopley, and of course, Bernie. Over 450 parents, carers, teachers and relatives watched proudly as their children received their awards.
The audience were also treated to a demonstration of circus skills by Kevin Burke the County Jester, who explained the educational benefits to the young learners in learning circus skills at the study centre. A group of young learners were then picked out from the audience to demonstrate the skills they had acquired at the study centre to the audience. Finally, a special performance by the young learners of their plate spinning, Diablo work, flower stick throwing, and juggling skills took place as they faced the players for the finale. A wonderful evening was had by all!
