Genevieve the Goat’s visits schools about encouraging physical activity and healthy eating at a young age. Primary 1 and 2 classes listened to a story about a goat who tries to encourage her friends to get active and eat healthily just in time for the Farmyard Olympics. After the story, children had a discussion about food and then enjoyed interacting with Genevieve who did an exercise session.

At the end of the session, the children were awarded with a large sticker. The Preparatory Department will take part in further Cancer Focus workshops throughout the year. This support further enhances the PD&MU programme in the Preparatory Department.
