Feedback from previous Inspiring Girls programmes :

Teacher: Thanks to Meath LSP for delivering the fantastic Inspiring Girls programme in Colaiste Clavin. This has been an amazing experience for our students from the start with the Leadership, Multi-Sport and Coaching modules to the very end with the Celebration Event. It has created an unbreakable bond between senior and junior students that will last for their entire school life. I would recommend this programme to any schools who want to see more girls taking part in social and recreational sport.”
