Callington After school club.
This club is becoming very successful . We have a core of 12 students progressing really well. Especially in unicycling, hula-hooping and tightrope walking. With more students arriving every week it has become a great club where the students themselves help to teach their peers new skills which brings a real sense of belonging and teamwork to the group. Good work everyone! enjoy your easter holidays and see you in the summer term.
The 3 Torpoint school classes and callington school PEP.
The students in these classes have all done exceedingly well in the 3 or 5 week course they have attended. I hope they continue to develop their skills they have recently learnt. Well Done Everyone.
