RecLink: Building Skills, Confidence and Community 

RecLink is a program that uses sport and recreational activities to bring people together, foster positive relationships and encourage active participation in a supportive and inclusive environment. Within the Plenty River College community, the RecLink program is offered as a Thursday elective and provides students and staff with valuable opportunities to connect beyond the classroom, develop essential skills and build confidence. 

Each week, the school travels to a local community sports centre to participate in a variety of sports and recreational activities. These sessions encourage teamwork, cooperation, communication and sportsmanship while providing a fun and engaging way to stay active and learn new skills. Every third week, the program takes an exciting turn as students and staff take part in an enjoyable game of ten-pin bowling at a nearby bowling alley. This much-loved activity offers a fun and engaging way for everyone to develop and improve their hand-eye coordination, balance, and motor skills while enjoying a little friendly competition. From exciting strikes and spares to unexpected wins and plenty of laughter, these bowling outings create memorable shared experiences and strengthen connections between students and staff.  

RecLink provides an inclusive and engaging environment where everyone can participate, build connections, enjoy friendly competition and be part of the fun.
