The Active Schools team got together today for a catch up in preparation for another busy term!
We started the day with some practical activity sharing ideas and we also enjoyed a presentation from TheEricLiddell100 #TeamWorkMakesTheDreamWork #ActiveSchools sportscotland

It was great to have John from TheEricLiddell100 at our Active Schools team meeting today.

Sharing information & resources that we will now look to share in schools and in different programmes.
