Extra curricular activities at Eastlea
Eastlea Community School buzzed with excitement on Thursday as we hosted the "Girls of the World" event, celebrating International Women's Day. The event aimed to inspire and empower young women from Year 5, providing them with positive role models, building confidence, and fostering connections as they prepare for the transition to secondary school. Girls from Star, Portway, Gainsborough, Stratford Manor, St Lukes, and Selwyn primary schools joined their peers at Eastlea for the day.
They learned valuable tools for self-expression in "How to be Assertive and Get Your Voice Heard", unleashed their creativity in the badge-making workshop, and even discovered the power of movement through a fun and energetic capoeira session with Ms Anderson. The day delved into inspiring stories of female achievements with workshops like "Herstory: Amazing Women in History," showcasing the diverse contributions of women throughout history. To top it all off, the girls belted out Aretha Franklin's empowering anthem "Respect" in a special singing lesson, leaving them feeling ready to take on the world. This collaborative event proved to be a resounding success. The girls not only gained valuable skills and knowledge but also forged new friendships and built a sense of community. The smiles on their faces as they left Eastlea were a testament to the positive impact of the "Girls of the World" initiative, leaving a lasting impression as they embark on their next chapter in secondary school.
