Access to The Gym and Sport for Children at The Mackay School

At the mackay school, only in the sport class you can use sport equipment provided by the school, children (13-14 years) dont use the school gym and they only play like 3 types of sports
we want to prevent the machay school students from getting a sedentary life, by giving them more options to exercise.
Our proposal doesnt include families a lot, it is for the students.
Students at the mackay school should get access to the gym, to new equipment for ports, and let students use sport equipment from the schooll mackay during break.
We want children to have access to gym so they can exercise at school gym, that we can get sport equipment during break and equipment for new types of sports.
One of the problems would be to convince the school so they could give us everything, also the school would need someone watching people at the gym, so they don't get injured, etc.
We will send a letter to the headmaster asking for this changes, if he doesnt accept we will make this bigger and bring even parents on it, we will ask them for help, and we will try everything to do make this possible.
Students would get much more opportunities to exercise during break at school besides the sports class.

It's a thing where you can do abdominals

It's a machine where you "ride a bike" but you just move your legs without moving from your place.

They are elliptical trainers, they simulate stair climbing.

It's a weight lifting machine.

It's the whole gym equipment
