St George's Hosts a Multi-Sport Olympic Celebration

Olympic Day Celebration Inspiring Young Athletes

Students from Primary 4 to Lower 4 recently experienced a fun-filled Olympic Day event, offering a taste of the upcoming Summer Olympics. The day focused on Olympic education, sports exploration, and promoting an active lifestyle.

Partnering with local organisations, students tried various Olympic sports:

• Football with Spartans FC
• Judo with Edinburgh Judo
• Basketball with The Crags Centre
• Weightlifting with Athlete Focused
• Lacrosse with Lacrosse Scotland
• Skateboarding with The SurfSkate Academy

In collaboration with Merchiston Castle School we were able to expand the sport offerings to include rowing, rugby, volleyball, athletics, table tennis, hockey, golf, and gymnastics. This diverse range of activities is aimed to empower our students and our friends from Merchiston, helping them discover new passions and embrace the Olympic values of excellence, friendship, and respect. 

We're grateful to all participating organisations and our partners at Merchiston Castle School for making this Olympic Day celebration a memorable and inspiring experience for our young athletes.
