Welcome to the
Commonwealth Games Passport Project.
Brand New for 2022 School Games Organisers across North Yorkshire supported by NYOLS Bewerley Park Outdoor Education Centre and North Yorkshire Sport will be bringing the Commonwealth Games Passport Project to Year 7 Girls across several schools.
Here, the chosen pupils will be able to download their activity passport and view the 6 challenges that have been set for them.
We will be launching the event at Bewerley Park in March 2022 (for Selby and Hambleton) and for those pupils who complete all 6 challenges they will be invited back to Bewerley Park in June 2022 to celebrate their achievements.
The project is fully funded by the Birmingham Commonwealth Games legacy and it is hoped that this project will inspire girls who are disengaged with PE to find new ways to be active outside of school that doesn't involve being part of a sport team. Everything the girls will do will empower them with transferable skills that can be used in every day life.
'Life Beyond PE'
Linking in to the school games values RESPECT, PASSION, TEAMWORK, SELF BELIEF, HONESTY and DETERMINATION it is hoped that the 6 challenges will give the girls a much needed boost and determination to lead a happy and active life.
