Empowering Day for Students at Strong Girls Event in Exeter

In an empowering initiative, 13 enthusiastic students from across campus participated in a Strong Girls event held in Exeter.

The girls were not only thrilled about the opportunity but also left a lasting impression with their exemplary behaviour and active engagement throughout the day.

The event offered the girls a unique chance to delve into the world of strength training, as they learnt three compound lifts. Adding to the excitement, they participated in interactive workshop sessions led by a distinguished GB female weightlifter, providing valuable insights into the sport and inspiring the students with her expertise.

The highlight of the day was witnessing the joy and enthusiasm radiating from the girls as they embraced the activities and challenges presented to them. The event not only promoted physical well-being but also encouraged a sense of empowerment and confidence amongst the participants.

To capture the essence of this memorable day, a show stopping performance from Laycee-Leigh, a talented year 9 student and a current weightlifter representing Devon, was seen by all that attended. 

The Strong Girls event proved to be an excellent opportunity for our students to explore new interests, enhance their physical skills, and build camaraderie. We applaud their positive attitude, and the entire experience reinforces our commitment to providing diverse and enriching opportunities for our students. We look forward to more events that empower and inspire our students in the future.
