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:

Re: When is a sports college not a sports college?
 

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:

Re: When is a sports college not a sports college?
 

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:

Re: When is a sports college not a sports college?
 

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:

Re: When is a sports college not a sports college?
 

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.

1991-1996 - Mrs.Roberts, Miss Blades and most of all Mrs.Tomlinson ( freaky lady)


Shudders at the thought!!:eek:

Re: When is a sports college not a sports college?
 

Yes, all of this equipment is extremely expensive, and another probllem could come under insurance. In today's "claim everything" climate, the school would be wary of being sued for any injuries. sad isn't it.

Sports College?
Do they do any courses to do with sports? A-level in weightlifting or treadmills perhaps!

Re: When is a sports college not a sports college?
 

Different era Willow and different school then.. remember playing Pirates before a term break ?? :D

I did notice myself the change in title and wondered about it .. would like to know the answer myself .. could be summat to do with money, grants, etc. ? Curious.

Does this mean that education is a nonstarter and the next generation of Olympic Champions are going to walk out of Moorhead? Fit, agile and the qualifications of a non attender ie none. As to why the sports centre I surmise that Moorhead cannot afford the tools to go with the new title.

Re: When is a sports college not a sports college?

Update on the trip to the Sports Centre from Mimi - she lost a whole 20 calories on one of the machines! She wondered why I didn't look suitably impressed :D

Re: When is a sports college not a sports college?
 

:) the excercise they should give them is clear up the mess they leave in the surrounding area:mad:

Re: When is a sports college not a sports college?
 

Re: When is a sports college not a sports college?
 

the rubbish they leave behind at dinner times morning etc

Re: When is a sports college not a sports college?
 

Re: When is a sports college not a sports college?
 

It can't be the area surrounding the school as they all stay in school at dinner. Don't know about the morning though.

I do know that last term some students volunteered to " clean up in the community" and gave up their own time after school to do this. Not as easy to do this term as it goes dark early.

Isn't that typical? The poor teachers can never win! She is female and spends her time with the girls therefore she is a lesbian, but if the teacher had been a bloke and spent his time showering with the girls I suppose you would have called him a, 'dirty old man'.

No wonder no-one wants to teach these days!:D
