The PAL programme is an adaptable programme which should be designed to suit the needs of the students and their school community. Being a PAL gives the students within the school a sense of pride and satisfaction and a chance to develop as a role model.
Some noticed benefits of running the PAL programme include:
- Students developing personal leadership skills.
- Students have an opportunity to accept more responsibility, appreciation, and respect from teachers and students.
- Students gain a sense of satisfaction for helping the enjoyment of others while working towards a happier, healthier, more physically active life!
