EVERSDAL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
Eversdal Primary School offers an inclusive SKILLS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME for Grade 1 and 2 learners, during school hours.
This inclusive programme creates the opportunity for the school to present its sport disciplines to the Grade 1 and 2 learners.
We are convinced that the Skills Development Programme will improve the overall skills level of our learners, while they will also benefit from the additional exercise; exercise at this young age stimulates large and small muscle development. It is essential for our young children to be physically active, on a daily basis, to promote their physical and emotional well-being.
The programme is based on the total development of the learner and is built on spontaneous participation and enjoyment. The summer programme includes athletics, tennis, swimming and cricket. In winter we target rugby, netball and hockey skills
