1. 5x60 programme

• Crickhowell High School has become one of the
  latest schools in Wales to sign up to the 5x60
  programme - a new initiative introduced by the
  Sports Council for Wales in association with the
  Welsh Assembly Government.
• The aim of the programme is to encourage
  secondary school pupils in Wales to take part in
  60 minutes of activity 5 times a week.  
• Physical Activity can take any form walking
  with a group of friends, canoeing on the river,
  playing in a 5-a-side football league, or joining
  a street-dancing club.

5x60 programme

• James Ralph is our dedicated 5x60 officier.
• His role is to consult with pupils and develop a
  programme of activities to take place outside of
  school hours this may be before school, at
  lunchtime, after school, or at weekends. The
  whole programme is pupil-centred so cannot work
  without their involvement.
• The programme also seeks to involve older pupils,
  parents, teachers, and people in the local
  community to act as volunteers and assist in the
  delivery of events and activities.

2. Comprehensive PSE programme

• The Programme of Study and Schemes of Work are
  regularly reviewed for appropriateness and
  relevance to pupils. After last years review it
  was decided that Eco-schools would feature as a
  unit of work delivered in Year 8 PSE.

Eco-schools healthy living lesson in action!

Comprehensive PSE programme
The eco-committee and Mark Jones the Eco-schools
coordinator were consulted as part of the process
to create a global citizenship resource pack for
all secondary schools in Powys. As a result we
at Crickhowell have been first to receive the box
in April 08 and have already used it to improve
our schemes of work in PSE.

3. Raising the profile of ESDGC

• The Eco committee is one of the many
  opportunities for pupils to participate in school
  activities and responsibilities to build their
  confidence and self-esteem .
• The Eco committee meet at least once a
  fortnight and discuss ideas of how they can make
  a difference. Before putting their ideas into
  practice.

The Eco-committee delighted at successfully
achieving our 2nd Green Flag in March 07.

If pupils live too far to walk then we provide
facilities for them to cycle in. If this is not
possible we encourage pupils to use public
transport or car share.
