The Commonwealth Curriculum Pack

active learning centre

One year on

To mark the first anniversary of the 2002 Commonwealth Games this site was officially relaunched on the 7th November at the City of Manchester Stadium.

Additionally all schools in the North West will receive a CD ROM copy of the site plus a specially commissioned DVD—Pushing The Limits—featuring the paragon of health and fitness Johnny Vegas. The video is essentially a celebration of the Games and has motivational and thought–provoking content relevant to a range of KS 3 and 4 subjects including PE, Citizenship, History and Georaphy.
