Girls in Sport 2024
On the 28th of August, a group of 27 girls across 7-10 had the opportunity to participate in the Girls in Sport Festival event at Olympic Park. The girls participated in a variety of sporting activities that were both engaging and empowering. Additionally, they had the unique opportunity to be spoken to by a panel of experienced athletes and guest coaches who shared their personal journeys and insights into the world of professional sports.
The students thoroughly enjoyed the day and gained valuable knowledge and inspiration from the athletes. It was a fantastic experience that emphasised the diverse opportunities available to women in sport!
