A huge thank you to Lynda Maindonald, instructor from Self Defence NZ.  All of our year eight girls have worked with her over three mornings this term.   This self defence course is about empowerment and learning to be a strong young woman.  We want our girls to use their voices for good and to know how to communicate when they need to seek help.

10/10! That's what I would rate the year 8 girls self defence lessons.   I thought they were absolutely brilliant!  The instructor would give us step by step instructions so it was really simple and easy for us to follow, and it really gave us an idea of how dangerous the world can be and why you should always try to be prepared no matter the situation. 

Overall It was very useful to know what to do in certain scenarios and how to react/ protect ourselves and others and it was a really fun experience!
