  • Putting Quality, Into Life
    Putting Quality, Into Life LEISURE & SPORT ANNUAL REPORT 2011 - 2012 Leisure and Culture Dundee's Leisure and Sport Service was a new addition to the physical activity sector in Dundee during 2011/12. However, it was a re-constitution of some very well known "players" from within the City: Dundee Leisure; Sports Development; Camperdown and Caird Park Golf Courses; and Camperdown Wildlife Centre. Each of the Leisure and Sport sections continued to provided services which were well used and positively contributed to the lives of residents, local communities and the City as a whole. International events were hosted in our facilities and local athletes were supported by Sports Development to perform on the international stage. The Wildlife Centre attracted more people than ever before and golf, again, proved to be one of the most popular activities to be played by Dundonians. The new Olympia Leisure Centre began to take shape as the iconic design became more visible throughout the year and the well loved existing Olympia was not to be out-done with a very strong performance despite the mountain of road and building works on its doorstep. 2011/12 was a good start for Leisure and Sport. The forthcoming challenges, however, will not be underestimated and with the building-blocks of further success, of extending the reach of sport and leisure, of tackling inequality and of making Dundee a healthier, more active city all within this service, the future is very bright. Graham Wark Head of Leisure and Sport 90,068 Wildlife Centre attendances 455,303 Swim Centres attendances 148,053 Sports Development attendances 63,621 Golf Courses attendances 336,750 Sports Centres attendances Leisure & Culture Dundee is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation No.

  • Consultation Report on Secondary Catchment Lennoxtown Primary
    EAST DUNBARTONSHIRE COUNCIL: EDUCATION SERVICE PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE SECONDARY TRANSFER ARRANGEMENTS FOR CHILDREN WHO LIVE IN THE CATCHMENT AREA OF LENNOXTOWN PRIMARY SCHOOL SEPTEMBER 2019 1.0 Background 1.1 East Dunbartonshire’s current school provision and arrangements for Primary 7 to S1 transfer arrangements are underpinned by legislative requirements in the Education (Scotland) Act 1980. This requires the Council to: i. ensure effective management of their school estate and provide sufficient places for their pupil population; ii. adhere to the general principle that children should be educated in line with their parents’ wishes; iii. ensure that all admissions must comply with class size legislation and national staffing agreements. 1.2 Children who live in the catchment area of Lennoxtown Primary School, in Lennoxtown and the catchment area of Craighead Primary School in Milton of Campsie are zoned to St Ninian’s High School in Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire and to Kilsyth Academy in North Lanarkshire. When transferring to secondary education, parents can choose to send their child to either school as a catchment pupil. This arrangement has been in place since 1997 as a legacy of regional councils and is common across local authorities. 1.3 St Ninian’s High School has an overall capacity of 850 and in order to manage this effectively the S1 roll is capped at 150. 2.0 Present Position 2.1 In the last three years, there has been a significant increase in the number of pupils opting to transfer to St Ninian’s High School Pupils from Lennoxtown have opted to go to Kilsyth Academy or to make placing requests to other schools within East Dunbartonshire; only a small number have transferred to St Ninian’s High School.

  • Annual Review 2018 – 19
    ANNUAL REVIEW 2018 – 19 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair” - Nelson Mandela - 2 Foreword… 2018-19 was a year of self-reflection for the Active Schools team, having completed the Insights Personality test. Understanding others and appreciating our differences was one of the key learnings. This programme helped us build valuable working relationships and a network of partners, allowing Active Schools to make the impact they have made this year. The Active Schools team continue to work with and nurture senior pupils who officiate, coach, organise competitions, become Young Ambassadors who are our decision makers. Gaining relevant sports qualifications and valuable experience in delivery, the young people are able to Jude Salmon develop their employability skills. Active Schools Manager In today’s world we are affected by factors including stress, mental health, obesity and poverty. Taking part in sport and physical activity truly does make a difference to our lives and I hope that some of the stories you are about to read will illustrate this to you. The phrase, ‘healthy body, healthy mind’ says it all. Our bodies were designed to move and when we keep them healthy, we have a better outlook on life, and on learning. The most wonderful part of keeping fit and healthy is that it is fun, but as this annual review shows, it can also open doors into future careers through volunteering and coaching.
