CYPSP in Partnership with NHSCT (Public Health Nursing, Dietetics and Health & Wellbeing Team), Northern Obesity Partnership and Causeway Coast and Glens Council are involving Year 8 pupils in the planning of activities in Dunluce High School and Coleraine College. The Year 8 Healthy Lifestyles Engagement projects are as a result of a similar pilot which involved Year 8 pupils in Our Lady of Lourdes school Ballymoney in September 2016- June 2017.

The Year 8 Healthy Lifestyles Engagements projects for 2017-2018 involves Year 8 pupils from Dunluce High School and Coleraine College. The projects are needs led through direct participation and engagement with Year 8 pupils, parents and schools through a whole year approach to deliver collectively on the important health messages encompassing nutrition, physical activity and emotional wellbeing.
