Over several years the Jigsaw Centre has pioneered a programme using physical fitness as a medium for encouraging students to make the connection between their thought processes and the operations of their limbs.
   It has been observed that involvement in physical programmes has brought about in many cases a gradual growth in body awareness. This has led to increased self satisfaction, stimulation and motivation also helping to reduce stress levels by using up excess energy.
   All Students have personal project plans to enable them to particiapte in activities to suit individual needs and desires.
