Transition Years really enjoyed the National Dairy Council’s Health Fest virtual event on Wednesday 27th January. They heard from a range of speakers on the areas of physical activity, nutritional and mental wellbeing and picked up lots of tips and advice.

Speakers at the event included Professor Niall Moyna, Dr Caoileann Murphy, Broadcaster Dermot Whelan, Rugby player Greg O Shea and CEO of St Patrick’s Mental Health Services Paul Gilligan. The event was chaired by radio broadcaster Doireann Garrihy.

Students virtually visited various stands at the event such as Bodywys, Spunout, NDC, Sport Ireland.

After the event all other students in our school received a link to watch all the presentations from the event. For more nutritional information and resources check out www.healthfest.ie or www.ndc.ie
