Girls learn self-defence skills

We frequently have workshops looking at different areas of the pshe curriculum - this was a self-defence workshop by martial arts expert Jason O'Connor. He led the girls through various scenarios, asking them to identify what the safest course of action would be in each situation. He gave them lots of helpful advice for day-to-day safety, both for now, and for their future lives as independent young women. He finished up with a few tips for defending oneself , such as, how to knee people in the groin without causing injury to oneself. It was a highly enjoyable session, and full of very practical advice.
