A message from Ricky Karoyan, our Active Schools Co-ordinator –
“Hello! My name is Ricky Karoyan and I am the Active Schools Co-ordinator for Tynecastle High School and cluster Primary schools. I am based in the Music base so please come and say hello on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I aim to offer lots of fun and different sports/activity sessions which will appeal to the wide range of interests that we have in the school population. I can also offer great volunteer opportunities within the school where pupils/parents/staff can assist with or lead sessions where you can access our ‘Fit to Coach programme’. Please get in touch if you would like me to introduce a new club or if you would like to get involved in our programme in any way.”
