New College Lanarkshire Achieve College Sport Award ‘Training Towards’

New College Lanarkshire have reached a significant milestone level of Scottish Student Sport’s College Sport Award!

Scottish Student Sport’s College Sport Award is a self-improvement framework which supports Colleges to provide physical activity and sport opportunities to their students, staff and communities.

After signing up for the College Sport Award – confirming the College’s commitment to sport – New College Lanarkshire used their time efficiently throughout the pandemic to put a real focus on their students’ wellbeing and the importance of getting physically active. The achievement of the ‘training towards’ level entitles the College to a £500 reward to buy sporting equipment.

Despite the challenges of the pandemic and a limited number of students on campus, kudos to Kellyann McGraith – Students Association President of Resource and Wellbeing – as the real drive behind moving the award forward within the College – well done!

The College Sport Award is a key project of Scottish Student Sport and is part of our drive to build a world class system for physical activity and student sport. The Award is supported by the Scottish Funding Council, and is endorsed by sportscotland and the College Development Network.
