YSI Promoting Women in sport every Monday

This Monday the 13th of October saw the beginning of an exciting initiative to promote women’s sport in our own school. At lunchtime, the sports arena will be open to girls of all year groups to use for sports of their liking. This project was launched by the Young Social Innovators team that consists of Transition Year students Beth Deery, Melanie Porter, Alannah Smith, Alanna Synnott, Jennifer Coyle, Ciara Fitzgerald and Sadhbh Doyle.

Our sports arena saw girls of all ages enjoying their lunch, playing sports like Gaelic football, soccer, basketball and more. This initiative encouraged everyone to get involved and try new things that they never thought they would do. 

Overall it was a huge success with a massive turnout. This will be happening every Monday at lunchtime for the remainder of the year so if you are interested, come along!
