When is a sports college not a sports college?
 

:D Moorhead High School, according to its letterheads is now a sports college - but not according to its bank account. Cheques still have to be made payable to Moorhead High School. But what really puzzles me is why my daughter has to trail down to the Hyndburn Sports Centre Wednesdays and Fridays for "gym" !!! ??? :confused:

This was always a pain in the aris when I was there too. Trek all the way to the sports centre then all the way back!!! with heavy bags and everything.:(

Well yeah!! it wasn't a sports collage when I attended. You would think now if it has the title sports collage it would actually have the goodies to back it's name up........I see good old Moorhead never changed lol.:rolleyes:

Did your gym classes take up a whole afternoon/morning?15 minutes there,get changed,hour in gym,showered & changed,mill around,wait for stragglers,head count,20 minutes back(uphill).Being a gym user at HSC,i noticed that quite a few school users had no idea how to use the machines properley & to some it was like playtime with weights.When it was the old,smaller gym at HSC many paying customers complained they could'nt use the machines they wanted when schoolkids were in.You'd have thought with the money spent at Moorhead they would have at least installed decent gym facilities :rolleyes:

Yes it did take a while, but, mine was the last lesson of the day so I didn't bother having a shower ( hence having a lesbian teacher that took pride of place in the shower cubicles while you showered) :o so I used to go straight home and have a bath. well when you're a kid it is embarrasing enough having a shower infront of everyone else, let alone all the teachers too.

Why not phone them and ask Willow, make sure you tell them how you feel about them still using the Sports Centre (Neil will be getting a slap this evening).

I suspect its because they have not built the new facilities yet from the money they got but I am probably wrong again.

YOU??




Never!! :eek:

They had a gym when I was there which was mumblemumble years before Slinky went. They have two things, one called a sports hall and one called a gym now! It just seems a bit ironic that they are using the sports centre. :D

Hehehehe sounds like nowt has changed at Moorhead then, we used to go to the HSC but also we went to Victoria Mills for areobics so both quite a trek. Al of the local high schools have a fancy college title now, Mount Carmel is science collge, The Hollins is the technical college, Ryddings is business college etc, me wonders what is the difference? is it specialist or what :confused:

The Gym at the sports centre is actually a fitness centre with all sorts of equipment. One question would be, Is it financially viable to build a fitness centre at Moorhead with the same amount of equipment or could the money be better spent on other areas of the curriculum?
Which ever answer you think would be the best option, it still takes time to achieve.
The school will receive extra money, but it is not an unlimited amount and not limited to improving the sports facilities which are already excellent.
