P6 have had an absolute blast the last 6 weeks in our Fight to Thrive sessions with ‘Wee Stevie!’ The children have genuinely loved every minute of this programme. As well as learning the basic skills of boxing they also learnt about teamwork, showing respect, encouraging others, making good decisions and the importance of looking after your mental health. Stevie was amazing with the kids and brought lots of positivity each week. The programme was finished off with a Pizza Party with nearly 50 tasty pizza’s delivered from Al’s Pizzeria! 👏👏 Thanks so much to Apex for funding this fantastic programme with our Shared Ed partner school St Patrick's & St Brigid's Primary School & Nursery Unit
