PE
Welcome to the PE department. At Flint High School our aim is to get every child hooked on physical activity. To achieve this we offer a wide range of exciting curricular and extra curricular opportunities. Students at Flint High School have the opportunity to dance at Theatre Clwyd, climb, compete against other schools, sail on Lake Bala, compete against other forms, have a free swim at The Pavilion, lead others in sport, take a GCSE or BTEC in sport, play for the County, play football every break, trampoline, ski, cheerlead ......... amongst other things.

So far this year I have competed in 3 international ski events
I believe I have done quite well in these races, In all of the races there were more than 100 racers, my best position was 40th in the British School boys out of 104 racers. trace in two different events Slalom and Grand Slalom, depending on the course a race can last about 40 seconds to 1 minute. At the Welsh Championships I was just with my parents and brother At the British School Boys, I raced for Flint High School, but stayed in a ski camp with friends and coaches from other schools, like the Grange in Chester, Abbeygate College Chester, Kings School and Christleton High School. When I go to camp our coaches are strict, my parents aren't in charge of me, the coaches are - we have to go and jog in the mornings at 6.30 and we did exercises in the hotel car park. At the English Alpine Championships, I was with my race team with is Telford. Telford is a good team, they have at least 5 people who are in the Children's GB team (they might get to go to the Olympics) I haven't done much snow training in about 6 months, I train on Wednesdays with Telford my coach is called Richard Breese and (train with The Oval on Fridays my coach is called Andy. One day I will beat Mr Spearpoint! This is on a dry slope. |

Capoeira
The exciting Brazilian martial art based dance of Capoeira came to Flint High School's year 8,9,10 and 11 boys. It is a fantastic mix of martial arts, samba, break-dancing and gymnastics. Colin Diamond a professional instructor came in and led an introductory session. There was a great response by the lads and I'm sure it is an experience they will remember.
Climbing at The Argoed
Thanks to our friends at The Argoed High School who have an amazing climbing wall, Flint Climbing Club visited their wall for a new challenge. Under the tutorage of Flintshire climbing guru Andy Barker, our students quickly got to grips with the extra challenges the wall presented, including overhangs and higher climbs. The club is extremely popular and it is a lovely mix of students from all year groups.
A special thanks to Freddie Price, Lauren Anderson and Bethan and Theresa Phillips for all their excellent help each week.
