Thirty-six Sea Eagles players have visited 16 primary schools on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, talking to students about healthy habits.
In total, almost 10,000 students attend the schools involved in this program which is a joint initiative between by the Sea Eagles and the NRL.
The players spoke to the students about healthy habits, focusing on hydration, quality sleep, and physical activity.
Nineteen-year-old halfback Joey Walsh, who is not long out of school himself, says he’s looking forward to returning to his old school in Curl Curl.
“It’s great to go back to my old school, I’ve got some tremendous memories of my time at Curl Curl North,” Walsh said.
“I think it’s really important for school kids to learn about healthy habits and as a team we are more than happy to help promote these positive messages.”
The players enjoy doing this type of thing and it’s really rewarding to know that we can help make a positive difference.
