Following the success of last year’s Portion Wise Walk for the boys at St Joseph's BNS, a bigger event has been planned to raise awareness of the importance of physical activity so that both adults and children enjoy being Active Wise. To coincide with the close of the school’s Healthy Eating and Active Living Weeks, there'll be an Active Wise Walk and Fun Activities in Bushy Park on Sunday 26th April at 3PM (weather permitting) so look out for their banners, posters and leaflets publicising the event around Terenure or follow them on www.portionwise.net.
With help from the local schools, parents and Dublin City Council, the event aims to encourage children and adults to share some experience of activities, by trying a new activity or even revisiting an old one.
There'll be a brisk warm-up before the short walk around the upper level of Bushy Park along the footpath followed by a variety of activities planned for after the Active Wise Walk on the front pitch closest to the tennis courts.
