Presentation Evening Summer 2008
Posted by: The Saints Study Centre Team in Breaking newsLast night the Saints Study Centre held its Celebration Evening for all the young learners who have taken part in the Playing for Success programme this term. Those who have taken part in our daytime programmes were also invited to the event.
Young learners from the following schools attended:
Mereway Community College
Simon de Senlis Primary
St Andrews Primary
St Gregorys Primary
Bellinge Primary
Briar Hill Primary
Queen Eleanor Primary
Hunsbury Park Primary
Thomas Becket Secondary
and the FullBack boys.
The children were firstly introduced to the audience through a short video of them running out of the tunnel like a Saints player. The young learners were then presented with a goody bag from the Saints Community Dept and a certificate of achievement by Saints players, Mark Hopley, Paul Diggin and of course, Bernie the mascot. Over 400 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 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.
