Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media
Inclusion in Sport: Discussion
Ms Mya Doocey:
Definitely. We got this idea because we noticed that a lot of girls in our school, in our year and especially in our class, were not participating in PE. We thought this needed to change because, obviously, a lot of girls do not participate in sport outside of school so PE is their only chance of getting any physical activity. We wanted to make sure they understood that they can do PE on their period. They just have to work around it and, even if it is just going for a walk, it is still better than nothing. At least they know now that they can work around it and make sure they participate in PE.
