BUILDING on their long-term successful projects; the Employers Lunches and the Dragon LNG Darwin Experience, Pembrokeshire College and Dragon LNG are delighted to announce their shared vision of providing college learners with the opportunity to participate in activities to maintain a healthy body and mind; maximising their full potential, through the College’s sporting academies.

Pembrokeshire College shared: The College’s Sports Academies seek to encourage and nurture sporting talent amongst its student population and provide opportunities for learners to maintain their health and wellbeing through sporting activity showcasing the benefits of individual and team sport.

With sport and physical activity seen as one of the most positive influences on learner health and wellbeing, growing confidence and self-esteem, the Sports Academies provide learners with the opportunity to take part in sport at all levels. Managed through the College’s sports department, with the support of external professionals, learners are able to take part in Rugby, Football and Swimming while the dedicated ladies academy covers Rugby, Football and Netball and uses both the facilities available at the College as well as at external venues.

Karen Wood, Stakeholder and Communications Manager at Dragon LNG said: “The health and well-being of our team at Dragon is very important, so it is exciting to be playing our part in providing opportunities for Pembrokeshire College learners, further enhancing our ethos of supporting youth development and training in Pembrokeshire. We look forward to sharing in the learners’ experiences and achievements.”
