Over 150 local sixth class pupils from a variety of different primary schools learned about positive mental health and fitness on Friday last.

The pupils, along with their teachers, gathered together for the annual KDYS Health and Well-being Day 2019, in the KDYS/eurÓg Youth Centre.

The atmosphere on Friday was vibrant and exciting, Tim O’Donoghue, CEO of the KDYS, said.

“The students engaged in various health and well-being focussed interactive workshops exploring topics such as positive mental health, physical health and fitness, positive lifestyle choices and social media awareness,” he said.

“This event is part of the KDYS commitment to supporting young people to make positive choices regarding their health and well-being, and was supported by the Kerry County Council’s Community Support Fund 2019.”
