The PTA is thrilled to sponsor Girl Talk Period. This talk was first developed for the ISB swim team, and has grown by popular demand. This presentation supports ISB’s mainstream health curriculum on Human Growth and Development and extends it to reach younger girls. All girls from Grade 4 and up are invited to come along to this presentation with a parent.

She also has a Masters of Human Nutrition, and is a registered nutritionist with the Nutrition Society of Australia.

During the break, Louise will have nutritious snacks for girls to sample and recipes that can be taken home
