Our Lady of Lourdes pupils take a lead in promoting healthy lifestyles

10th Jan 2018

Year 9 pupils from Our Lady of Lourdes School have been involved in a programme to promote healthy living, culminating in designing a new healthy lifestyle resource targeted at their peers aged 11-16. Their brief was to design a healthy lifestyle resource which promotes physical activity, good nutrition and the importance of hydration.

Pupils worked in partnership with the Children & Young Peoples Strategic Partnership and a local illustrator Jonathon Osborne to develop their ideas, designing every aspect of the resource from deciding on a swim bag, to key health messages that would feature on it and ultimately the illustrations on the bag.

The Healthy Lifestyle Bag will be made available to all Year 8 pupils across the Northern Trust area throughout the 2017/2018 academic year.
