Craigie Transition Project Case Study

Just MAGIC

The key points to this case study are:

• transition
• confidence and self-esteem
• keeping girls involved in physical activity.

The transition project was an integrated programme of sport and the arts for girls who were moving from P7 to S1, which was developed in the Craigie High School cluster area in Dundee.

The idea initially started through the Out of School Hours programme run by Active Schools co-ordinators. The programme in this particular area was ‘MAGIC – Most Active Guys in Craigie’.

There was a recognition that the number of females participating in physical activity dropped off dramatically between leaving primary school and starting at secondary school.
