Margaret Walsh, a physical therapist from Body For Life Fitness came in to speak to our 5th and 6th class girls in relation to girls and sport. Margaret spoke to the girls about the facts of why girls stop being active particularly during the adolescent years. She outlined the benefits of activity for girls especially in the years when puberty starts. She discussed developmental changes and hormone power and how important it is for girls to understand their cycle. She covered the topics of body shape and body image in girls and also the importance of healthy and balanced lifestyle. The girls and teachers enjoyed it and had lots of question for Margaret after her presentation.
