Newcastle Thunder Vs Leigh Programme

Adding Rugby to
lessons with School
Connections
Are you a teacher looking to incorporate rugby
into your school’s PE lessons? Then the Thunder
Community Schools Connection Programme is the
vehicle you have been looking for.
Delivered by the award-winning Newcastle
Rugby Foundation, Thunder Community Schools
Connections offers the opportunity to create
a tailored programme suitable for schools’
individual needs.
From Mini Thunderbolts sessions for Early Years
children to promote fundamental movements,
social skills and energetic learning to a range of
rugby and multi-sport sessions at secondary ages.
In addition to rugby programmes from tag to
contact, Primary deliver also offers the
opportunity to use rugby as a focus in the teaching
and development of healthy eating and lifestyles,
numeracy skills and positive character traits.
Three levels of affiliation mean that programmes
come with a range of entitlements including visits
from Newcastle Thunder’s professional players and
coaches, match tickets to watch Newcastle Thunder
in action during the rugby league season and the
chance to take part in affiliated festivals.
With an extensive menu of options available, your
schools connections package can genuinely be
tailored to provide a programme designed to
provide a meaningful contribution to the education
provided to you pupils.
Places are filling fast for the new academic year
beginning in September and with Rugby League
World Cup taking place in England this autumn,
now is the perfect time to add the sport to your
curriculum and use the power of high profile sport
to motivate and inspire your cohorts.
