Lessons In Healthy Living

Foundation project promotes positive message for primary school pupils

CELTIC FC Foundation and the SPFL Trust are changing the lifestyles of Glasgow’s young people through exercise and healthy eating.

The +Sport Move and Learn project, designed to teach primary school children about the value of a balanced diet and an active lifestyle, is working wonders at Sacred Heart Primary School.

The Bridgeton school in the city’s East End recently welcomed two of the Celtic Women’s first-team squad, Darcy McFarlane and Jaclyn Poucel, to share their football experiences.

The project aims to engage primary school children aged between nine and 12 across Glasgow, covering 30 schools and 1,800 young people per season.

Combining in-class learning and physical activity, +Sport Move and Learn is making a huge difference for kids both at school and at home.

Conor O’Boyle, Project Manager at Celtic FC Foundation, said: “The project has been very well-received by both the pupils and the teachers.

“It comprises two elements of 45 minutes in the classroom where they teach health and wellbeing messages, diet and nutrition, exercise and fitness and a coaching session.”
