On Tuesday, 10th September co-ordinators from DCU's Y-PATH programme came to school to test all the 1st Year students. Y-PATH stands for Youth - Physical Activity Through Health. They will be tested again in May to gauge any changes.
Fundamental skills were tested on 1st year students such as balance, hand-eye coordination, skipping and a stand and reach test. The students were also each given an accelometer which they wore for a week to measure their daily activity output. DCU will be compiling the results and returning them to Ms. Finnegan and the students. (Click on blog title to see more photos.)
