\n As part of the Young Social Innovators (YSI)<\/strong> programme, students at Davitt College launched a major school-wide initiative to raise awareness about the vital importance of leading a healthy and balanced life.\n <\/p>\n

\n Operating under the core belief that “health equals happiness”<\/em>\u2014and recognizing that a healthy mind is every bit as important as a healthy body\u2014the student team developed fun, positive, and accessible ways to help their peers and school families adopt long-term healthy lifestyle choices.\n <\/p>\n

\n The YSI group organised a vibrant series of active events across the school, introduced nutritious alternatives in the dining areas, and created brand-new facilities to foster mindfulness and student welfare on campus.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
