Wehaveanobligationtomeettheneedsofour youngpeople,bothintheSchoolandwithinthe community.
We must tackle the very real challenges faced in terms of inadequate and outdated facilities and ensure we support the increasingly complex and ever growing needs of our young people who are struggling with their physical and mental wellbeing. Participation in sport and physical activity offers everyone life enriching opportunities, selfdiscovery through engagement and selfless commitment.
We must provide inspiring facilities that motivate and encourage participation at all levels, bringing ourgrowingcommunitytogether.
Shaping the future of Sport at AGS through our Pitch In Campaign is in direct response to this, but we will need your help. This ambitious vision can onlyberealisedwiththesupportandgenerosityof our entire community, including local and national businesses looking to give back and align themselves with the success of a thriving local school."
